A case is described of a 38-year-old man treated for three years for diabetes mellitus admitted to an internal department for elucidation of the cause of protracted fever. Staphylococcal sepsis was diagnosed with pneumonia and retroperitoneal abscess. Surgical treatment was given and targeted antibiotic-therapy was administered. The patient was discharged from the hospital after 38 days as cured. An observation of 18 months failed to show the recurrence of the infection.
