Corynebacterium afermentans, a species recently identified, has previously been isolated from human blood cultures. We report the case of a previously healthy 39-year-old man who developed a brain abscess and a liver abscess due to Corynebacterium afermentans subsp. lipophilum. The liver abscess penetrated through the diaphragm to cause pleural effusion and periostitis of the ribs. We believe this is the first reported case of disseminated infection with abscess formation due to this organism.
发酵棒状杆菌是一种最近才被鉴定出的菌种，此前曾从人类血培养物中分离出来。我们报告了一例病例，一名39岁以前健康的男性因嗜脂发酵棒状杆菌亚种而发生脑脓肿和肝脓肿。肝脓肿穿透膈肌，导致胸腔积液和肋骨骨膜炎。我们认为这是首例报道的由该微生物引起的伴有脓肿形成的播散性感染病例。
