Abstract excerpt

Necrotizing fasciitis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an uncommon but life-threatening infection, and has mainly been reported as occurring in adults and the elderly. Recently, infant cases involving Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive community-acquired MRSA have been noted. Here, a case of fatal necrotizing fasciitis with sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation in...
