    Author: Chung KP, Chang HT, Liao CH, Chu FY, Hsueh PR.
    Journal: J Microbiol Immunol Infect; 2012 Jun; 45(3):248-50. PubMed ID: 22041168.
    Abstract:
    Staphylococcus lugdunensis is often misidentified as S aureus and as a rare cause of infective endocarditis. The clinical course of S lugdunensis endocarditis is aggressive and the mortality rate is high in contrast to S epidermidis endocarditis. Most reported cases of S lugdunensis endocarditis have involved mitral or aortic valves. Herein, we present a case with isolated tricuspid endocarditis due to S lugdunensis.
