摘要: Invasive infections by Corynebacterium minutissimum are rarely documented. The significance of laboratory isolation this bacterium from a sterile specimen such as cerebrospinal fluid is difficult to determine it usually colonizes the skin. However, repeated in clinical setting should be treated appropriately. Here we report first case infected pseudomeningocele C. an adult woman operated on for falcotentorial psammomatous meningioma. patient was successfully with linezolid.
