Relapsing Bacteraemia due to Corynebacterium striatum in a Patient with Peripheral Arterial Disease
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2015, Vol 64, Issue 3
Abstract
We describe the first reported case of Corynebacterium striatum (C. striatum) relapsing bacteraemia in a patient with peripheral arterial disease and proven Corynebacterium species colonization of a chronic foot ulcer, focusing on the difficulties in the management of the patient. We conclude that the optimal duration of the antibiotic treatment for relapsing C. striatum bacteraemia from a chronic ulcer should be 6 weeks together with surgical treatment.
