We report the case of a 2-year-old boy with severe Langerhans cell histiocytosis who had tricuspid endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis and required surgery despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Through this case and literature review of endocarditis caused by S. lugdunensis in children, we highlight pitfalls and mistakes to be avoided in the management of this rare but serious infection.

“…The youngest patient previously described was 2 years old. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In this case, the patient underwent a lotus and water birth. Although unusual neonatal infections have been reported with water births in the past, including, among others, Legionella pneumonia and Haemophilus sepsis, 17,18 larger studies have shown that there is no significant increased risk of subsequent neonatal infections in newborns who underwent water births.…”

A term newborn, who underwent lotus birth, developed Staphylococcus lugdunensis sepsis and endocarditis on the 1st day of life. This case reports an uncommon pathogen known to cause destructive endocarditis in the adult and paediatric populations, causing endocarditis in a neonate. We speculate that lotus birth, an atypical birthing practice, may have contributed to the development of this infection.

“…A total of 17 original published articles were considered appropriate for inclusion in our review article (Figure 1 ). Out of these 17 studies, 16 were case reports from Italy [ 5 , 6 ], Switzerland [ 7 ], USA [ 8 - 11 ], UK [ 12 , 13 ], Morocco [ 14 ], Taiwan [ 15 , 16 ], Saudi Arabia [ 17 ], Spain [ 18 , 19 ], and Norway [ 20 ] while one case series was from Greece [ 21 ]. Koh et al had reported the first case of S. lugdunensis endocarditis-associated CVA from London, UK in 1996 [ 12 ].…”

Infective endocarditis (IE) secondary to Staphylococcus lugdunensis has been increasingly recognized since 1988. IE-related thromboembolism represents an associated complication of the disease and carries a dismal prognosis. However, the incidence of cerebrovascular accident secondary to S. lugdunensis IE is relatively uncommon and its treatment has not been clearly elucidated yet.We performed an extensive literature search using Pubmed, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify the articles using the following keywords: ‘Staphylococcus lugdunensis’, ‘infective endocarditis’, ‘stroke’, and ‘cerebrovascular accident.’ Patient characteristics, risk factors, severity of neurological deficit, echocardiographic findings, medical management, required surgical intervention, complications and mortality rate were reviewed in detail.Eighteen cases (mean age of 47.8 years, 55% male) from 17 publications with S. lugdunensis-related cerebrovascular accident (CVA) were identified. Of these, 16 (87%) cases were left-sided endocarditis and 10 (61%) cases experienced right-sided neurological deficit. The source of infection was documented in eight cases (50%) in which four cases (50%) were related to groin-related procedures and the mitral valve (52.5%) was mostly infected followed by aortic valve (37%). Surgical valve replacement was done in 61% of patients and overall mortality rate was 22%.S. lugdunensis endocarditis is associated with high mortality and morbidity, including a higher prevalence of CVA. Early disease identification with aggressive intervention is crucial for better outcomes.
