  • Title: Corynebacterium striatum empyema and osteomyelitis in a patient with advanced rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Verma R, Kravitz GR.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2016 Mar 04; 2016():. PubMed ID: 26944378.
    Abstract:
    Corynebacterium striatum, which is a common coloniser of human skin and mucous membranes, is increasingly being recognised as an emerging pathogen. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with empyema and osteomyelitis caused by C. striatum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case where these two infections from this bacterium were identified together in the same individual.
