Abstract EN
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus that leads to destructive infective endocarditis.
The clinical course of S.
lugdunensis endocarditis is usually aggressive with a high mortality rate compared to endocarditis caused by other coagulase-negative staphylococcal species.
Despite that, it is usually sensitive to Penicillin G, and surgical intervention is sometimes warranted.
Here, we report a case of S.
lugdunensis endocarditis complicated by both embolic stroke and meningitis.
