  • Title: Arcanobacterium haemolyticum bacteraemia and soft-tissue infections: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Tan TY, Ng SY, Thomas H, Chan BK.
    Journal: J Infect; 2006 Aug; 53(2):e69-74. PubMed ID: 16316687.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of bacteraemia with Arcanobacterium haemolyticum in association with soft-tissue infections are reported from immunocompetent patients. A review of all A. haemolyticum isolates from our institution over a three-year period reveals that 94% were cultured from patients with soft-tissue infections, and 72% of all patients had concomitant diabetes mellitus. Arcanobacterium haemolyticum is an uncommon cause of bacteraemic soft-tissue infections, and diabetes mellitus may be an associated risk factor.
