Several reports have associated<jats:italic>C. macginleyi<\/jats:italic>with ocular infections, such as conjunctivitis and endophthalmitis. However, even if rare, extraocular infections from<jats:italic>C. macginleyi<\/jats:italic>may occur, especially among immunocompromised patients and patients with indwelling medical devices. We report herein the first case of surgical site infection by<jats:italic>C. macginleyi<\/jats:italic>after orthopaedic surgery for the correction of kyphoscoliosis in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1. Our patient developed a nodular granulomatous lesion of about two centimetres along the surgical scar, at the level of C4-C5, with purulent discharge and formation of a fistulous tract. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of a two-centimetre fluid pocket in the subcutaneous tissue. Several swabs were collected from the borders of the lesion as well as from the exudate, with isolation of<jats:italic>C. macginleyi<\/jats:italic>. The isolate was susceptible to beta-lactams, cotrimoxazole, linezolid, and glycopeptides but resistant to quinolones, third-generation cephalosporins, and erythromycin. Two 30-day courses of antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin\/clavulanate (1\u2009g three times\/day) and cotrimoxazole (800\/160\u2009mg twice a day) were administered, obtaining a complete healing of the lesion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/970678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,30]],"date-time":"2013-05-30T21:16:50Z","timestamp":1369948610000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Surgical
