Abstract
Four cases of endocarditis due toKingella kingae are described in compromised patients. All had primary heart disease, and two had systemic lupus erythematosis and congenital heart defect respectively, in addition. Confirmation ofKingella kingae was made in one case at autopsy. The literature on 11 cases of endocarditis, 2 bacteremia, 4 osteomyelitis, 5 septic arthritis and 1 intervertebral disc infection, all caused byKingella kingae, is reviewed. Our findings confirm that the organism is of low pathogenicity. Children may be predisposed to infection withKingella kingae.Keywords
