Relapsing Bacteraemia due to [i]Corynebacterium striatum[/i] 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 [i]Corynebacterium striatum [/i]([i]C. striatum[/i]) relapsing bacteraemia in a patient with peripheral arterial disease and proven [i]Corynebacterium[/i] 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 [i]C. striatum[/i] bacteraemia from a chronic ulcer should be 6 weeks together with surgical treatment.
