Corynebacterium

1 Recommendation

Has anyone ever heard of this bacteria? This is the bacteria that I was told I had in my lung that was contracted during my lung surgery to remove a cancerous mass. This caused severe infection in my lung with the accumulation of blood that required hospitalization for 2 months, a drain tube in my lung and IV antibiotics for 3 months and blood transfusion.
What a nightmare.
I was treated by an infectious disease doctor and he really saved my life..
Any input would be appreciated.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I have researched this on line and have found very little about this. The infectious disease doctor who treated me for this said it was rare but it does occur and that it was a bacteria that we sometime have on our skin.
