Se aislo en cultivo de tejido pulmonar posmorten cepa de Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticillina, productor de la toxina Panton-Valantine leucocidina demostrado por caracterizacion molecular. Se establecio el diagnostico anatomopatologico de sepsis generaliza y bronconeumonia necrosante bilateral.(AU) A one-year old patient with history of health problems, who developed Staphylococcus aureus-caused infection in the skin and soft tissues that led him to toxic shock, multiple organ failure and death.
