Abstract
Sternoclavicular arthritis is an unusual osteoarticular infection and can be associated with severe complications. Cases in a paediatric population are infrequently reported, making this approach challenging. Kingella kingae is an agent of increasing recognition in paediatric invasive infections, principally below 2 years of age. A case of K. kingae osteoarthritis in a 17-month-old child is described with a review of the literature. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2018.
