[Discitis caused by Kingella kingae--case report].
The patient with acute infection and the presence of bacterium Kingella kingae cultured from cerebrospinal fluid is presented. The analysis of clinical picture and the results of all performed tests did not allow to diagnose cerebrospinal meningitis. Despite of being not sure if Kingella kingae was an etiopathogenetic factor in the described subject, we decided to discuss this interesting case.
