Abstract
We report the first case of granulomatous mastitis due to Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii linked to strongly impaired neutrophil responses to Nod2 agonist and a single nucleotide polymorphism within the NOD2 gene (SNP13 [Leu1007fsinsC]) in a heterozygous state. These findings provided the first demonstration of impaired Nod2 function associated with corynebacterial infection.Entities:
