- Abstract
Long-term urinary catheterization is well recognized in the literature as being associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present a rare and previously unreported complication of a cervical spine abscess resulting from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia originating from the urinary tract in a patient with a urinary catheter.
