Corynebacteria are more commonly being recognized as significant human pathogens. We describe a case of Coryneform group A-4 sepsis secondary to infection of a Hickman catheter in an immunocompromised man; the organism was identified by biochemical analysis conducted at the Louisiana State Reference Laboratory.
