title: [Necrotizing pneumonia and arthritis due to Staphylococcus aureus producing Panton and Valentine leukocidin in a 10-year-old boy].
abstract: Staphylococcal necrotizing pneumonia producing the Panton Valentine leukotoxin (PVL) has been described for many years. The french reference center for staphylococcal toxaemia defined it with precision in 1999. A 10-year-old child, died in 36 hours from respiratory distress and shock. Staphylococcal pneumonia was suspected then confirmed: S. Aureus producing PVL was isolated in lung, blood and articulations.
