Artritis séptica pediátrica causada por Kingella kingae

Abstract: Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMENKingella kingae es un microorganismo que coloniza el tracto respiratorio superior. A pesar de su baja patogenicidad en esta localización, los procesos patológicos respiratorios previos pueden favorecer su diseminación sistémica y producir infecciones osteoarticulares, principalmente en menores de cinco años. En pacientes pediátricos, se considera un patógeno emergente en la infección osteoarticular. Presentamos el caso de una niña de dos años de edad con cuadro clínico de … Show more

“…Microscopic examination of the exudate rarely reveals the presence of K. kingae (18,102,160), probably because of the low bacterial concentration (from 11 CFU/ml to 300 CFU/ ml) (175) and the difficulty in visualizing the Gram-negative bacilli against the pink-stained fibrin background. Because of the mild clinical presentation of K. kingae arthritis, when the disease involves the hip joint, patients may be mistakenly diagnosed as having transient synovitis (176), a benign inflammatory condition that is managed without antibiotics. Employing a diagnostic predictive algorithm to differentiate between the two conditions (177), 20 of 28 (71.4%) Israeli and Spanish children with cultureproven K. kingae of the hip joint would have been considered to have a Յ40% probability of infectious arthritis, and the true nature of the disease was revealed only by BCVs seeded with blood or synovial fluid specimens (178)(179)(180).…”

“…La incidencia de la enfermedad aumenta en otoño e invierno y, con frecuencia, va precedida de una infección del tracto respiratorio superior. 4 Como lo expresa la bibliografía revisada, nuestro paciente concurre a la guardería y presenta cinco días antes un cuadro de vía aérea superior y posteriormente la afección articular.…”
