Abstract

We present 2 cases of community acquired S. aureus pneumonia carrying Panton Valentine leucocidin (PVL). These cases illustrate this clinical entity characterized by a younger and healthier population than usual staphylococcal pneumonias and complicated by a 75% mortality rate. We also discuss the diagnosis and therapeutic difficulties.
