ABSTRACT
The staphylococcic pneumonia keeps a close relation with the guest ressistance 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. We present a case of a patient with staphylococcus pneumonia, and its torpid evolution leads to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of ¨General Milanés¨ Children´s Hospital. It was concluded that the staphylococcic pneumonia acquired in the community, is developed with severe clinical manifestations, for which it needs a precocious and oportune diagnosis.
