Osteomyelitis, endocarditis and septic cerebral emboli caused by Kingella kingae
View through CrossRef
Kingella kingae is a common cause of osteoarticular infections in children < 5 years but is also known as a rare cause of endocarditis. This case report describes a 17-month-old girl with invasive infections caused by K. kingae who had pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis which caused septic emboli with occlusion of the a. cerebri media dexter. K. kingae endocarditis in children is rare but has a high incidence of complications, and is often diagnosed late in the course of the disease. Awareness of this rare presentation of K. kingae infection is important to prevent fatal complications.
