Kingella kingae endocarditis in a child with hair-cartilage hypoplasia.

Abstract. Kingella kingae is a fastidious Gram-negative rod that since the 1980s has been appreciated as a cause of a variety of human infections, including bone and joint infections, bacteremia, and rarely endocarditis [2, 6, 7, 9]. K. kingae endocarditis is rare, and only a few cases occur in normal, native valves. We report a case of K. kingae endocarditis in a patient with hair-cartilage hypoplasia who had previously undergone bone marrow transplantation. The combination of these rare conditions is discussed.

The Gulf War: pediatric emergency room function.

PURPOSE: To analyze the effects of war on the civilian population through patterns of medical service consumption in a pediatric emergency room. METHODOLOGY: A survey of variables related to use of emergency room services before, during, and after the Gulf War. RESULTS: There was a dramatic decrease in the number of visits during the war. During the war, there were fewer visits for URI, home accidents and intoxications; there were more visits for complaints such as headaches, restlessness, and tremors. CONCLUSIONS: Visits during the ware were more related to emergency situations with fewer visits of the walk-in clinic type.
