Abstract :
Corynebacterium xerosis is a rare cause of endocarditis, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients and those with predisposing cardiovascular lesions. While often considered a blood culture contaminant, serious infections by this organism have been reported. C. xerosis endocarditis is associated with poor outcomes that could be potentially improved by early recognition and treatment.
