URIA, María et al. Infección osteoarticular por Kingella kingae en niños: Descripción de casos clínicos. Arch. Pediatr. Urug. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.4, pp.262-265. ISSN 1688-1249.

The isolation of Kingella kingae in two children with osteo-articular infection on a one-year interval in La Asociación Española and the abscence of cases notified in Uruguay makes this communication necessary. We carry out a review
