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. Methilline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain was isolated in pulmonary tissue culture after death. This strain produced Panton-Valantine toxin called leukocidin as proved in molecular characterization. There was established the anatomic-pathological diagnosis of generalized sepsis and bilateral necrosing bronchopneumonia.
