Pediatric Bone and Joint Infections Caused by Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: PVL-positive S. aureus bone and joint infection is severe and requires prolonged treatment. Local complications are more frequent and often need repeated surgical drainage.

“…The difficulty in correlating the two entities was previously discussed by Hamilton et al (16). Epidemiological data from different groups suggest that PVL ϩ S. aureus strains are associated with some of the severe forms of skin infection (9,19,24,32), bone and joint infections (4,11), and pneumonia (14,15). For these infections, experimental data support the role of PVL in the severity of disease (5,6,10,28).…”

“…For this purpose, we prospectively collected and analyzed clinical specimens and the corresponding S. aureus strains isolated from patients with infections in which PVL was suspected to play a role in the pathophysiology, i.e., skin infections, pneumonia, and bone and joint infections (4,11,14,19,24). Samples were collected from six different countries to obtain strains with more diverse genetic backgrounds (27).…”

“…Rečiau ši infekcija manifestuoja nekrotizuojančia pneumonija, sepsiu, nekrotizuojančiu fasciitu ir kaulų-raumenų ligomis [15,16,17,18,19,20] (1 lentelė). Gillet ir kolegos palygino PVL(+)SA ir PVL(-) SA sukeltų ligų klinikines charakteristikas.…”

“…À la suite de ce travail, Gillet et al ont analysé une série de 16 cas de pneumonies communautaires à S. aureus PVL et 32 cas de pneumonies communautaires n'exprimant pas PVL, et ont montré que les formes sévères d'infections pulmonaires chez l'enfant étaient associées à la production de PVL par les souches responsables de l'infection, qu'elles soient ou non résistantes à la méticilline [8]. Ces auteurs proposaient le terme de pneumonie nécrosante pour décrire ces pneumonies survenant chez l'enfant et l'adulte jeune sans antécédents ni facteurs de risque et caractérisées par une détresse respiratoire aiguë, souvent accompagnée d'hémoptysie et d'une leucopénie avec une évolution rapidement défavorable dans 75 % des cas [8] été rapporté par les pédiatres texans [9] et lyonnais [10]. Ces auteurs ont montré que certaines formes sévères de l'enfant étaient associées à la production de PVL.…”
