Abstract
We present a case of a Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) positive Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infection in an otherwise fit and well 21 year old man. This bacterial infection was preceded by a reactivation of a cold sore on his lower lip. The formation of an abscess and localised tissue necrosis prompted the search for this unusual and dangerous toxin.
