متن کاملClinical Outcome for PVL+ Staphylococcus Aureus Associated Necrotising Pneumonia may be Optimised Through Combination of Prompt Antimicrobial and Anti-Toxin Treatment
Necrotising pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Staphylococcus aureus confers a high mortality. We describe a child presenting with sepsis and necrotising pneumonia. Septicaemia caused by Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Staphylococcus may not be adequately treated with antibiotics to which it appears sensitive through standard culture techniques. Some evidence suggests that early anti-t...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin causes necrotizing pneumonia.
The Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming toxin secreted by strains epidemiologically associated with the current outbreak of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) and with the often-lethal necrotizing pneumonia. To investigate the role of PVL in pulmonary disease, we tested the pathogenicity of clinical isolates, isogenic...
متن کاملA rapidly fatal case of Panton-valentine leukocidin positive Staphylococcus aureus necrotizing pneumonia in an HIV-infected patient.
This article reports a rare case of necrotizing pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) positive Staphylococcus aureus in an HIV-infected patient presenting with severe back pain and rash. The back pain progressed to excruciating abdominal pain which was misleading, resulting in an investigation on intraabdominal conditions. He developed massive hemoptysis and died within 2 days o...
