Abstract
An 8-month-old girl was admitted with fever and a red and swollen left eye with purulent discharge. A CT scan revealed no postseptal (orbital) involvement. Preseptal cellulitis was diagnosed. Pus culture showed that Corynebacterium bovis, normally only seen in bovine colonization. C. bovis had been transmitted by the family's pet dog.
