Abstract
A 41-year-old female presented with a superficial buttock abscess. In the preceding 6 months she had four other abscesses at different anatomical sites. Screening for diabetes and immunocompromise was negative. Review of microbiology revealed Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus harbouring Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes. PVL syndrome is an emerging disorder associated with recurrent necrotic skin lesions in the young, otherwise healthy population.Entities:
