Abstract
Prosthetic valve and pacemaker lead endocarditis by Staphylococcus lugdunensis remain very rare, while the former is associated with an ominous prognosis. Two cases involving a prosthetic aortic valve and a pacemaker lead, respectively, are reported. Despite disease severity and delayed diagnosis, patients recovered fully with combined antimicrobial and surgical treatment.Entities:
