Abscesses: Mrsa tends to cause boîls and abcesses. Often patients will come in complaining of a spider bite when in reality it is a MRSA infection.

Hmm: If the pyelonephritis is due to bacteria Staph Aureus it can be the cause of the pyelonephritis . But having pyelonephritis does not mean you have or will cause staph aureus infection.
