Summary Introduction
The Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) is characterized by a pore-forming toxin, which is secreted by strains that are epidemiologically accompanying with the outburst of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) and also with lethal necrotizing pneumonia. To test the function of PVL pulmonary disease, the pathogenicity of clinical samples, purified PVL, isogenic PVL-positive and PVL-negative S. aureus strains have been tested.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
