AbstractA previously healthy 5-year-old girl developed staphylococcal septicemia. Initially, cardiovascular failure with mitral insufficiency and purulent pericarditis dominated the clinical picture. Peripheral thromboembolic phenomena, meningitis, osteomyelitis, and persistent septicemia were subsequently encountered during antimicrobial and surgical therapy. Although staphylococcal septicemia is a potentially lethal disorder, anticipation of its natural course and its possible complications should lead to more successful management.
