Abstract:
A case of septic arthritis caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum in a native hip joint occurred in an adult man following contralateral vascular graft sepsis, and was successfully treated with intravenous vancomycin followed by oral doxycycline and rifampicin. To the authors' knowledge, this is the only reported case of septic arthritis due to C. amycolatum.
