Abstract

Kingella kingae is a common cause of osteoarticular infections in children less-than 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.

金杆菌是导致 5 岁以下儿童骨关节感染的常见原因,但也是导致心内膜炎的罕见原因。本病例报告描述了一名 17 个月大的女孩,她因感染金杆菌而引发肺炎、骨髓炎和心内膜炎,心内膜炎导致化脓性栓塞和大脑中动脉闭塞。儿童感染 K. Kingae 真菌心内膜炎十分罕见,但并发症的发生率很高,而且往往在病程后期才被诊断出来。认识到K. Kingae感染的这种罕见表现对于预防致命并发症非常重要。
