Corynebacterium mucifaciens in an immunocompetent patient with cavitary pneumonia

Résumé

Background: Corynebacterium mucifaciens has been mainly isolated from skin, blood and from other normallysterile body fluids. It has rarely been described as a human pathogen since its description. Case presentation: We herein report the first case of cavitary pneumonia due to C. mucifaciens in an immunocompetent man returning from Maghreb. Conclusion: C. mucifaciens should be considered as important human pathogen in patients with severe illness and compatible history of exposure even in individuals with no clearly identified immunosuppression.
