Case Studies

Human pulmonary infection with Corynebacterium equi

T Egawa, H Hara, I Kawase, T Masuno, S Asari, M Sakurai, and S Kishimoto

A 28 year old man with no underlying disease developed a cavity and multiple nodules in the lung from which Corynebacterium equi was isolated. He experimented with organic solvents and microorganisms including Corynebacterium species for several years. Computed tomography of his pulmonary lesions revealed that these nodules were related to the bronchial tree. Histologically, the lesions were compatible with nonspecific inflammatory changes. The clinician must suspect the pulmonary infections with Corynebacterium species even if the patient has no underlying disease.
