RESUMEN
Panton-Valentine leucocidin is a major virulence factor produced by some strains of Staphylococcus aureus (SA-PVL). The best-described invasive infection is a necrotizing haemorrhagic pneumonia. Pleural effusion is not uncommon but is always associated with a parenchymal lesion. Here, we report a case of haemorrhagic pleurisy attributable to isolated SA-PVL.
