摘要
We describe 2 cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus neck infections resulting in a deep neck abscess in one and formation of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula in the other. Predisposing factors, preventive measures and the principles of management are discussed. The role of carrier detection and rational use of antibiotics are highlighted.
