Abstract
|
|
|
|
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus. However, it causes various clinically important human infections and behaves similar to Staphylococcus aureus. S. lugdunensis reportedly causes infective endocarditis, skin and soft tissue infection, bone and joint infection, septicemia, endarteritis, urinary tract infection, ocular infection, and peritonitis. There are no reports of septic arthritis by this organism in Korea. We presented a case of septic arthritis due to S. lugdunensis in an elderly patient with diabetes mellitus after an intra-articular injection.
