Abstract:
:We describe a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma who developed Corynebacterium jeikeium sepsis after experimental treatment with 8-methoxypsolaren. The epidemiology and clinical features of C. jeikeium infection are discussed. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous vancomycin without recurrence.
