Management Strategies for Hydrocephalus in Alobar Holoprosencephaly: A Case Report and Discussion.

abstract：:Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus first described in 1988, has gained recognition as an organism with considerable pathogenic capability in adults. In contrast to the indolent presentation characteristic of other coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. lugdunensis infections resemble the agg...
