Kingella kingae is an aerobic gram-negative coccobacillus that has been associated predominantly with bone and joint infection but also with septicemia and endocarditis. Until now, only four cases of proven K. kingae meningitis have been reported. We describe a case of a K. kingae meningitis in a male adolescent who presented with a history of fever of unclear origin.
