Management

• treat as sepsis with MRSA + dual Pseudomonas coverage*
  • cefepime, levofloxacin & vancomycin
  • aztreonam, levofloxacin & vancomycin if penicillin allergy

* apparently no concern for anaerobic coverage

* single agent coverage for Pseudomonas appropriate if antibiotic sensitivity known
