[Streptococcus pneumoniae--an infectious agent in coxitis].
Based on their own observation the authors describe pneumococcal coxitis in a young man. With regard to the atypical clinical picture of the disease the authors draw attention to the necessity to consider in the differential diagnosis of pain in the inguinal and coxal area also infectious arthritis. This concerns in the first place physicians in the first line of contact.
