  abstract = {{I}ntroduction: {T}oxigenic {C}orynebacterium diphtheriae causes classical diphtheria. {S}kin infections by toxigenic or non-toxigenic {C}orynebacterium diphtheriae are prevalent in the tropics but are rarely reported. {C}ase presentation: {W}e report the identification of a non-toxigenic {C}orynebacterium diphtheriae (biovar {G}ravis) isolate in a 52-year-old {C}ambodian male. {T}he patient presented purulent and non-healing ulcerations on the right hallux. {T}he wound has healed after 7 days of antibiotic therapy with a favourable outcome. {C}onclusions: {T}his case represents, to our knowledge, the first report of {C}orynebacterium diphtheriae in {C}ambodia in the last 10 years, and highlights the lack of diagnosis and notifications of diphtheria. {I}t is important to raise awareness among clinicians and to set up diphtheria surveillance in {C}ambodia.},
