Abstract
Corynebacterium jeikeium (C. jeikeium) prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are extremely rare. Previously reported cases required total resection arthroplasty. We describe a case of C. jeikeium PJIs successfully treated with partial removal of the prosthesis and administration of 6 weeks vancomycin followed by chronic suppression with minocycline.Entities:
