| osteomyelitis due to kingella kingae infection. | a case of osteomyelitis due to kingella kingae is presented to illustrate the insidious onset and indolent course typical of bone infections caused by this organism. the frequently negative result obtained with gram's stain and the fastidious nature of the organism makes diagnosis difficult. initial therapy with an aminopenicillin such as ampicillin in addition to antimicrobial drugs for staphylococcus aureus should be effective in resolving bone and joint infections in children. | 1988 | 3337967 |
| kingella kingae osteoarthritis and osteomyelitis in children. | kingella kingae is still a poorly understood germ which is responsible for osteoarticular infections. we observed nine cases of osteoarthritis involving k. kingae in children. they included 4 cases of arthritis, 2 of osteomyelitis, and 3 of spondylodiscitis. the germ was cultured in all cases by direct surgical approach or by needle aspiration of the septic locus. evolution was always good after immobilization and nonspecific antibiotherapy. our nine clinical cases, along with the few cases alre ... | 1988 | 3335623 |
| kingella kingae infection in healthy children. | kingella kingae is a gram-negative occasional, but normal, inhabitant of the nasopharynx. we present two new cases of this infection that occurred in previously healthy children, and compare and contrast them to other cases reported in the literature. k. kingae osteomyelitis generally has an insidious, subacute onset, whereas septic arthritis has an acute presentation. to date, all strains of k. kingae have been sensitive to penicillin, and no residual damage has been reported following osteomye ... | 1988 | 3292580 |

| [osteoarthritis and osteomyelitis due to kingella kingae in children. apropos of 5 cases and review of the literature]. | bone infection caused by kingella kingae (kk) is rare since there are only 15 published cases. we report 5 additional cases with isolation of kk from fluid or bone aspiration. kk was sensitive to the most common antibiotics. the outcome was favorable in every case. | 1986 | 3808839 |
| intervertebral diskitis caused by kingella kingae. | a case of childhood intervertebral diskitis caused by kingella kingae is presented. in a review of the literature, the authors found 33 reported cases of infection caused by species of the kingella genus, of which 29 were due to k. kingae. of the 33 cases, 42% represented bacterial endocarditis and 48% bone and joint infection. of the 16 bone and joint infections, 11 represented septic arthritis, 3 osteomyelitis, and 2 intervertebral diskitis, the latter finding making the authors' case of k. ki ... | 1986 | 3706211 |
| manifestations of kingella kingae infections in adults: resemblance to neisserial infections. | kingella kingae is a rare human pathogen. most reported infections are in children and involve endocardium, vascular space, and skeletal tissues. we report herein two cases of k. kingae infection recently seen in adults. kingella kingae caused acute meningitis in a patient with sickle cell anemia and in the second patient with alcoholic liver disease, sepsis with a petechial rash. the clinical presentation due to k. kingae closely resembled that caused by related neisseria genus. | 1986 | 3709097 |
| infections caused by kingella kingae: report of four cases and review. | kingella kingae, formerly known as moraxella kingae, is a fastidious, non-motile, coccobacillary, fermentative gram-negative rod that has been chiefly associated with two types of infections in man: bone and joint infections, and endocarditis. we describe four patients with k. kingae infections, one with septicaemia, two with endocarditis, and one with osteoarthritis. the current literature on infections with k. kingae is reviewed. | 1986 | 3760596 |
