Abstract
The clinical presentation and course of two patients with Eikenella corrodens infection of the hand is recorded. This recently recognised organism must not be regarded as a harmless commensal and should be differentiated from the Bacteroides group because of its resistance to clindamycin. Radical surgical debridement is the most important aspect of therapy.Keywords
