In this paper, a nosocomial enterocolitis due to a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which developed during pneumonia therapy in a 83-year-old male patient with gastrointestinal tract haemorrhage is presented. The disease which initiated with severe diarrhea resulted with mortality despite therapy. Gastrointestinal tract haemorrhage, antiulcer therapy and broad spectrum antibiotics were determined as the risk factors for developing S. aureus enterocolitis. Staphylococcus aureus should be considered as one of the causative agents of life-threatening gastroenteritis in risk bearing patients.
