Native aortic valve endocarditis secondary to Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
A 7-year-old boy presented with cellulitis over the medial aspect of the left upper thigh and pyomyositis of the left vastus lateralis accompanied by severe restriction of the left hip joint. These complaints had developed over the last 12 days. MRI detected osteomyelitis of the proximal metaphysis of the left femur with mild left hip joint effusion.

متن کاملCase report of Staphylococcus lugdunensis native valve endocarditis and review of the literature.
INTRODUCTION Coagulase-negative staphylococci, commonly Staphylococcus epidermidis, cause 5% of native valve endocarditis. We describe a case due to Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus identified in 1988, as a first report in Southeast Asia. It was previously misidentified as S. aureus because it is sometimes slide coagulase positive, but always tube coagulase negati...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis.
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a recently described coagulase-negative species which has been associated with human infections, including infective endocarditis. A case of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism is described. The initial laboratory detection of S. lugdunensis is facilitated by a positive test for ornithine decarboxylase. The identification of such isolates should not c...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis.
A case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis is presented with low back pain suggesting a secondary bone focus of infection. An umbilical skin lesion may have been an additional embolic phenomenon. The case highlights the aggressive nature of S lugdenensis endocarditis compared with other coagulase negative staphylococci and its association with native heart valves. In addition the importa...

Figure 1 (A) Initial transesophageal echocardiogram reveals a large vegetation on the atrial aspect of the mechanical mitral valve (arrow). (B) Repeat transesophageal echocardiogram 6 days later demonstrates a significant increase in size of the vegetation with valve obstruction (arrow). Note spontaneous echo contrast in the (C) Photograph of the explanted valve atrial aspect of the annular rin...
