  • Title: [Primary meningococcal-monoarthritis (Neisseria meningitidis serotype C) in a child].
    Author: te Poele EM, Meis JF, Gerrits GP.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2003 Jan 25; 147(4):167-8. PubMed ID: 12635550.
    Abstract:
    A 26-month-old girl had a painful, swollen right knee, accompanied by fever and vomiting. She had had an upper respiratory tract infection for a number of days. Following a positive culture of synovial fluid, monoarthritis caused by Neisseria meningitidis serotype C without other signs of illness was diagnosed. She recovered completely after one joint aspiration and intravenous and oral antibiotic therapy. N. meningitidis serotype C infections without meningitis or septicaemia are rare, but should form part of the differential diagnosis of septic monoarthritis.
