This study details the first reported case of extensive urethral incrustation caused by Corynebacterium group D2 infection. Effective treatment involved vancomycin, cystolitholapaxy, and urinary acidification with acetohydroxamic acid.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Urethral incrustation is a rare condition that can lead to significant urinary tract complications.
  • Corynebacterium species are known pathogens, but group D2 has not been previously implicated in urethral incrustation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with extensive urethral incrustation.
  • Infection with Corynebacterium group D2 was identified as the causative agent.

Findings:

  • The case represents the first known instance of urethral incrustation attributed to Corynebacterium group D2.
  • A multi-modal treatment approach was successful, including intravenous vancomycin hydrochloride, cystolitholapaxy, and urinary acidification using acetohydroxamic acid, a urease inhibitor.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the spectrum of Corynebacterium group D2 infections.
  • Highlights the importance of identifying specific bacterial agents in complex urinary tract conditions.
  • Suggests a potential therapeutic strategy for similar future cases, combining antibiotics, mechanical removal, and pH management.
