Multifocal community-acquired MRSA infection: a rare case involving urinary tract, bloodstream, chest wall, and pleura

This rare case, with simultaneous urinary, bloodstream, chest wall, and pleural involvement, highlights the importance of early recognition, individualized therapy, and confirmation of resistance using tNGS. The outcome demonstrates the short-term effectiveness of this combined approach.
