[Pneumococcal infections in children: osteomyelitis and arthritis].
A pneumococci-osteoarthritis in 8 children is reported on. In almost all the cases an adequate therapy (antibiotics, immobilization, physical therapy) resulted in a healing process free of defects with a full maintenance of the articular function. Besides by staphylococci and haemophilus influenzae, pneumococci too use to play a role as pathogenic organisms for osteomyelitis and arthritis.
