Abstract
Isolated from blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) cultures of Leukemia and Lymphoma patients, Corynebacterium falsenii was first identified in 1998 as a new Corynebacterium species. In 2010, it was reported as a cause of Bacteremia in a 13-month-old infant on Vancomycin therapy. We are hereby describing a Corynebacterium falsenii bacteremia occurring in a 15-day-old term neonate causing late onset Sepsis.
