    Author: Oliker R, Cunha BA.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 1999; 28(1):74-6. PubMed ID: 9915933.
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus Pneumoniae infections are a common cause of bacteremia and community-acquired pneumonia in HIV-positive individuals. Bone and joint infections as a result of S. pneumoniae are extremely rare. We report the first case of S. pneumoniae septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in an HIV-positive adult patient. The patient was successfully treated with oral levofloxacin.
