Staphylococcus lugdunensis Cultured from the Amniotic Fluid at Caesarean Section
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a virulent coagulase-negative staphylococcus. It behaves like and can be mistaken in culture for Staphylococcus aureus. While originally thought to be a skin commensal rarely responsible for opportunistic infection, it was rapidly established as a significant human pathogen. It has been mainly associated with native and prosthetic valve endocarditis, osteomyelitis,...
متن کاملCaesarean section at term: the relationship between neonatal respiratory morbidity and microviscosity in amniotic fluid.
OBJECTIVES The incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity following an elective caesarean section is 2-3 times higher than after a vaginal delivery. The microviscosity of surfactant phospholipids, as measured with fluorescence polarisation, is linked with the functional characteristics of fetal surfactant and thus fetal lung maturity, but so far this point has received little attention in newb...
متن کاملHow useful is routine amniotic fluid and neonatal surface swab microbiology at Caesarean section?
BACKGROUND Our aim was to evaluate the clinical impact of routine amniotic fluid and neonatal surface swab microbiology at Caesarean section. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microbiology data from 1 537 neonates delivered by Caesarean section were analysed in the light of clinical outcome. RESULTS 1 340 (87%) neonates had non-pathogenic bacteria or negative culture results from both amniotic fluid an...
متن کاملContamination of salvaged maternal blood by amniotic fluid and fetal red cells during elective Caesarean section
BACKGROUND Cell salvage in obstetrics is still a controversial subject and has yet to be fully embraced. The aim of this exploratory study was to measure amniotic fluid (AF), heparin, and fetal red cell contamination of washed filtered salvaged maternal blood and to investigate differences based on the number of suction devices used. METHODS Patients undergoing elective Caesarean section were...
متن کاملSevere Staphylococcus lugdunensis keratitis
We report a severe case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S. lugdunensis) keratitis presenting as suppurative keratitis in a 77-year-old woman. The patient's chief complaint was eye pain and decreased visual acuity in her right eye. Suppurative keratitis with a severe corneal abscess was diagnosed by a slit-lamp ophthalmic examination. The causative organism was identified as S. lugdunensis by bac...
