  • Title: Large vegetations in Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis.
    Author: Murillo J, McMahon C, Starr J.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 2008; 37(6):479-80. PubMed ID: 18992632.
    Abstract:
    Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a recently described coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, is increasingly being recognized as a cause of a highly aggressive and destructive form of native valve endocarditis. We describe a pediatric case associated with large vegetations requiring surgical intervention. Careful attention to microbiologic methods will avoid misidentification and inappropriate management.
