Abstract
A furuncle on the leg of a 23-year-old woman led to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus sepsis and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Initially her electrocardiograms (ECGs) showed sinus tachycardia, but otherwise were unchanged from prior ECGs. A week into her ICU stay a different rhythm occurred.
