Abstract
- Staphylococcus lugdunensis is part of the normal human skin flora and has the ability to establish primary infection in deep skin and vascular infections. A 41-year-old male presented with brittle, thick, crusted right thumb nail with yellow to brown discoloration and erythematous edema around the nail fold. We identified S. lugdunensis by bacterial culture for the pus. The lesion was improved after 2 months treatment of oral cefditoren and clarithromycin. We report a case of onychia and paronychia caused by S. lugdunensis.
