Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis: a complication of vasectomy?

F C Fervenza1, G E Contreras, K N Garratt, J M Steckelberg.   

Abstract

Three cases of Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis have been reported in patients with a history of vasectomy preceding the development of endocarditis. We describe a new case of a 39-year-old man who developed infective endocarditis due to S. lugdunensis after vasectomy. He was successfully treated with a 7-week course of intravenous antibiotics and subsequently underwent mitral valve reconstruction for severe mitral regurgitation. The present case further supports an association between vasectomy and S. lugdunensis endocarditis.
