| Core Tip |
Corynebacterium striatum, traditionally dismissed as a blood culture contaminant, can act as an aggressive endovascular pathogen in immunocompromised and dialysis-dependent patients. This case highlights how initial clinical quiescence and negative early investigations may delay recognition of infective endocarditis. However, serial blood cultures and repeat echocardiography were crucial in establishing the diagnosis. Persistent isolation of Corynebacterium striatum in the appropriate clinical context should prompt early consideration of infective endocarditis, timely antimicrobial optimisation, and multidisciplinary evaluation, as delayed recognition may be fatal. |
