title: [Isolation of Corynebacterium JK from the blood of neutropenic patients with septic diseases].
abstract: The authors report on the isolation of Corynebacterium JK from the blood of two neutropenic patients with hematological malignancy. In Hungary this paper is the first to discuss the microbiology of the organism and clinical manifestations of the group JK Coryneform infection. The clinical significance of this organism in the nosocomial infections of compromised patients and the association of the infection with the use of plastic devices has been emphasized. The sensitivity of the multiresistant coryneform bacterium to vancomycin may help to make the microbiological diagnosis and to select the drug for therapy.
