    Author: Lane JE, Moore CC, Beckish ML, Stephens JL.
    Journal: South Med J; 2001 Apr; 94(4):429-31. PubMed ID: 11332912.
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of infection in the pediatric population, as well as an important cause of septic arthritis. The increased prevalence of drug-resistant S pneumoniae in North America has renewed interest in the use of pneumococcal vaccines. We describe the case of a child with isolated acute septic arthritis caused by infection with penicillin-resistant S pneumoniae.
