title: Deep-vein thrombosis and septic pulmonary emboli in methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus infection.
abstract: Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in children is most often secondary to a predisposing cause. DVT and septic pulmonary emboli in staphylococcal sepsis has been described most often with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The clinical features of four previously healthy children with community-acquired, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus sepsis associated with DVT are described.
