Abstract

Introduction: the staphylococcic pneumonia keeps a close relation with the guest resistance to the infections and with the virulence of the microorganism. The staphylococcus is the agent of infection that produces a wide range of illnesses of extreme severity with risks for the life.
Case presentation
: we present a case of a patient with staphylococcus pneumonia, and its torpid evolution leads to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at ¨General Milanés¨ Pediatric Hospital.
Discussion:
the mortality for pneumonias acquired in the community is between 21 and 54 % according to the clinical studies. In these pneumonias, the main bacterial pathogen is the streptococcus pneumonia; followed by the staphylococcus aureus what produces a progressive respiratory compromise, empyemas and pneumatoceles of fast progression. In this clinical case the patient presented a staphylococcus pneumonia acquired in the community, with some risk factors associated to this type of infection, like malnutrition and immunodepression for hypoglobulinemia.
Conclusion:
 it was concluded that the staphylococcic pneumonia acquired in the community, is developed with severe clinical manifestations, and it needs a precocious and opportune diagnosis.
