Abstract
Background. Necrotizing pneumonia due to Panton-Valentine leukocidin–producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with a high mortality rate. We sought factors associated with vital outcome in 50 cases occurring from 1986 through 2005.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
