A normal part of the oral flora, Kingella kingae has seldom been recognized as the cause of serious clinical infections. We report a case of documented septic arthritis caused by K. kingae in an otherwise healthy infant. We suggest that it may be more common than thought based on the general unfamiliarity with this organism and the fact that several dozen clinical isolates have been identified by reference laboratories.
金氏金杆菌是口腔菌群的正常组成部分,很少被认为是严重临床感染的病因。我们报告一例原本健康的婴儿由金氏金杆菌引起的确诊化脓性关节炎病例。鉴于对该菌普遍缺乏了解,以及参考实验室已鉴定出几十株临床分离株这一事实,我们认为其实际发生率可能比想象的更高。
