Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum septic arthritis secondary to intra-articular injection--a case report and literature review.
2012

Review of the literature highlights the rarity of this pathogen in osteoarticular infections and a potential for delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment due to subtle initial presentation.
