Brain abscess due to Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus.

A Ramos1, L Ley, E Muñez, A Videl, I Sánchez.   

Abstract

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. The abscess culture yielded methicillin-sensitive S. aureus that produced PVL. The patient did well after surgery and antibiotic treatment. A hematogenous infection, route of bone infection with progression to dura mater and brain parenchyma was hypothesized. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of a brain abscess due to PVL-positive S. aureus.
