Septicaemia due to Corynebacterium haemolyticum

R S Jobanputra et al. J Clin Pathol. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

The clinical and microbiological features of a case of septicaemia due to Corynebacterium haemolyticum are described. Isolation of the organism from blood cultures taken at the time of admission, immediate response to penicillin, presence of agglutinating antibodies in high titre in the patient's serum, and our failure to find evidence of infection with any other pathogen suggests a causative role.
