    Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) poses significant morbidity and mortality risks, particularly due to metastatic infections.

  • 2

    In a study of 1725 SAB patients, 16.7% experienced metastatic infections within 90 days, predominantly within the first week.

  • 3

    The highest incidence of metastatic infections was observed in patients with endocarditis, at 73.4%.

  • 4

    Lungs were the most common site for metastatic infections, followed by bones/joints and the central nervous system.

    Understanding the primary infection focus is crucial for targeted management and early detection of metastatic infections in SAB.
