Abstract

Although most patients with multiple myeloma are predisposed to pneumococcal infections, such infections usually involve the respiratory tract or the meninges. Pneumococcal arthritis is rare in the general population and is unexpectedly even rarer in patients with myeloma. We believe this to be the first case of pneumococcal septic arthritis of the knee in a patient with myeloma.

摘要

虽然大多数多发性骨髓瘤患者易患肺炎球菌感染，但此类感染通常累及呼吸道或脑膜。肺炎球菌性关节炎在普通人群中较为罕见，而在骨髓瘤患者中更是出乎意料地少见。我们认为这是首例骨髓瘤患者发生的肺炎球菌性膝关节化脓性关节炎。
