Corynebacterium Striatum Septic Arthritis and Bacteremia: Case Report and Review
2009
Abstract Corynebacterium striatum is part of the normal human flora, but it has recently gained recognition as a pathogen. It can cause serious infection in immunocompromised patients, although bone and joint infections due to C. striatum are uncommon. We present a patient with cirrhosis who developed C. striatum septic arthritis and bacteremia, review published reports of bone and joint infection due to C. striatum, and discuss important features of the illnesses associated with this organism.
