    Author: Magira EE, Zervakis D, Routsi C, Kontogiorgi M, Roussos C, Nanas S, Mentzelopoulos S.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2007; 39(5):466-9. PubMed ID: 17464874.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing pneumonia and fatal septic shock were caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive, community-acquired, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in a previously healthy, 61-y-old female. This patient did not belong to any high-risk group (e.g. homosexuals, military recruits, sports team members, etc.). CA-MRSA infection should be suspected in any adult with severe pneumonia/sepsis.
