We present 3 cases of significant bacteremia by C. amycolatum. Bacterial isoliations from blood culture were obtained using the Vital Systems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ataxia

  The infection occurred in a seven-year-old child who had a history of immunosuppression due to ataxia telangiectasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dizziness

  Abstract A 54-year-old female with a prosthetic mitral valve presented with a 3-day history of dizziness, subjective fever, and chills. Blood cultures were positive for a pleomorphic Gram-positive rod. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of all patients from whom C. striatum isolates were recovered from blood culture for analysis of the patients' backgrounds and clinical course including response to antimicrobial therapy and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Trichomycosis axillaris is a benign infection of the hair with no associated mortality or complications. Once treated, it may recur if preventive measures (eg, shaving, antibacterial soap, antiperspirants) are not taken. [emedicine.com]

C. propinquum should be recognized as a potential pathogen and included in the etiologic diagnostic algorithm, particularly in patients with immunosuppressive conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

When the pubic hair is affected, the condition is referred to as trichomycosis pubis. [1] Shelley and Shelley noted the coexistence of erythrasma, trichomycosis axillaris, and pitted keratolysis and termed it the corynebacterial triad. [2] Pathophysiology [emedicine.com]

We go on to review previously reported cases of C. jeikeium endocarditis and we will discuss different aspects of C. jeikeium infection with a focus on microbiology, pathophysiology, and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Simple, rapid screening tests should be used to differentiate it from C. diphtheriae and hence, to prevent unnecessary concern in community. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
