title: Community-acquired pneumonia due to Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus in an HIV-2-infected patient.
abstract: Pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus is associated with a high fatality rate. There have been few reported cases in HIV-1-co-infected patients. Here we report a fatal case of severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing S. aureus in a 45-year-old woman with HIV-2 infection.
