Diagnosis and treatment of Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-associated staphylococcal pneumonia

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2007
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-producing Staphylococcus aureus is emerging as a serious problem worldwide. Whilst usually causing skin and soft-tissue infections, particularly recurrent abscesses, there has in the last 10 years been an increase in the incidence of an associated devastating pneumonia affecting previously healthy young people and ...

The Role of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin in Staphylococcus aureus Musculoskeletal Infections in Children

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2012
Infections caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus have been reported with increasing frequency. However, the role of PVL in the pathogenesis of invasive staphylococcal infection is controversial. It is interesting to note that the role played by PVL may depend on the site of infection; although an ...

Brain Abscess due to Panton–Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Staphylococcus aureus

Infection, 2008
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus that exhibits highly specific lytic activity against polymorphonuclear cells, monocytes, and macrophages. A 34-year-old man admitted for right parietal brain abscess and thickened dura mater in close proximity to a lytic bone lesion is presented.
