The authors report a rare case of an unusual primary pyomyositis of the biceps cruralis assigned to Kingella kingae in a 21-month-old girl. The reported case demonstrated that primary pyomyositis may be encountered during invasive infection due to K. kingae even if this manifestation remains rare. This bacterial etiology must, therefore, be evoked when a primary pyomyositis is observed, and this is in particular in children under 4 years of age.
作者报告了一例罕见的 21 个月大女孩肱二头肌的金氏金氏菌引起的不寻常原发性肌炎病例。该报告病例表明，即使这种表现仍然很少见，由于金氏金氏菌引起的侵袭性感染也可能发生原发性肌炎。因此，当观察到原发性肌炎时，必须考虑这种细菌病因，特别是在 4 岁以下的儿童中。
