Acute Necrotizing Sinusitis Caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis: Fig. 1

Acute-onset endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Purpose To report a series of patients with acute-onset bacterial endophthalmitis caused by culture proven Staphylococcus lugdunensis, and to characterize clinical outcomes and microbiologic susceptibilities of this organism. Observations The study included six eyes of 6 patients. The etiologies included cataract surgery (3), open globe injury (2), and intravitreal injection (1). Isolates of ...

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis is infrequently reported in clinical studies. Five cases of acute postcataract surgery endophthalmitis caused by S. lugdunensis were taken from a multicenter prospective study conducted in four university-affiliated hospitals in France (2004 to 2005). These cases were characterized by severe ocular inflammation occurring w...

Necrotizing Fasciitis Associated with Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection that results in rapid local tissue destruction. Type 1 necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by polymicrobial, synergistic infections that are caused by non-Group A streptococci, aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Type 2 necrotizing fasciitis involves Group A Streptococcus (GAS) with or without a coexisting staphylococcal infectio...

Rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive life-threatening infection located in the deep fascia, with secondary necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues. Staphylococcus aureus as a single etiologic agent is rare. The pathogenicity of S. aureus infections is related to various bacterial surface components and extracellular proteins. A 56-year-old man developed fever, hypotension, impaired ...
