Abstract

Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, a well-defined pathogen of pharyngitis in humans, is also isolated from ulcerative skin infections with a chronic course. Despite of its occurrence in 0.3 to 2% of the cases with pharyngitis, A. haemolyticum has never been isolated before as a causative agent of soft tissue infection in Turkey. We present the first case of diabetic foot infection caused by A. haemolyticum. Increasing awareness in clinical microbiology laboratories will likely allow us to understand the importance of these bacteria in soft tissue infections. Klimik Dergisi 2017; 30(1): 41-4.

Özet

İnsanlarda farenjitin iyi tanımlanmış bir nedeni olan Arcanobacterium haemolyticum genellikle kronik seyirli ülseratif deri infeksiyonlarına da neden olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, ülkemizde farenjiti olan olguların %0.3-2'sinden izole edilmiş olmakla birlikte, yumuşak doku infeksiyonu etkeni olarak daha önce hiç bildirilmemiş olan A. haemolyticum'a bağlı olarak gelişen ilk diyabetik ayak infeksiyonu olgusu sunulmuştur. Klinik mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarındaki farkındalığın artması, bu bakterinin yumuşak doku infeksiyonlarındaki önemini daha iyi anlamamızı sağlayabilir. Klimik Dergisi 2017; 30(1): 41-4.
