Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Producing Staphylococcus aureus Infection: A Case Series. [PDF]
Infect Dis Rep, 2020 Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus (PVL-SA) is associated with relapsing multifocal skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), necrotizing pneumonia (NP) and severe musculoskeletal infections. Epidemiology is underknown and underdiagnosis is likely. Recent travel abroad, case clustering and relapsing disease are often reported. We

Staphylococcus aureus , Panton-Valentine leukocidin, and necrotising pneumonia [PDF]
BMJ, 2005 A rare but often lethal cocktail that can complicate flu P anton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is one of many toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Structurally similar to γ haemolysin, this leukocidin comprises two subunits (F and S) that together are leukocidal and dermonecrotic.1 Intermixing of γ haemolysin and the subunits of PVL produces toxin ...
