Relapsing Bacteraemia due to Corynebacterium striatum in a Patient with Peripheral Arterial Disease

We describe the first reported case of Corynebacterium striatum (C.striatum) relapsing bacteraemia in a patient with peripheral arterial disease and proven Corynebacterium species colonization of a chronic foot ulcer, focusing on the difficulties in the management of the patient. 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.
