title: First report of septic arthritis caused by Klebsiella oxytoca.
abstract: Klebsiella oxytoca is known to be a pathogen in immunodeficient adults and children. Here we report the first case of a K. oxytoca infection associated with spontaneous arthritis of the knee in a child with no history of immunosuppressive therapy or previous bacterial infections. Despite an initial antibiotic treatment failure, a second treatment led to a cure of the infection with no joint sequelae.
