Sternoclavicular arthritis is an unusual osteoarticular infection and can be associated with severe complications.

Kingella kingae is an agent of increasing recognition in paediatric invasive infections, principally below 2 years of age. A case of K. kingae osteoarthritis in a 17-month-old child is described with a review of the literature.
