Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the the major human pathogens. Apart from common community infections such as catarrh

of the upper respiratory tract, otitis media or sinusitis, it causes invasive and potentially life-threatening infections. Pneumococcal

arthritis is also considered as invasive disease. This case study describes a relatively rare case of the infant with a pneumococcal

arthritis of the hip. The study focuses on a brief overview of the issues, clinical manifestations, diagnostics and treatment of the

bacterial arthritis in children and prevention of the invasive pneumococcal disease.

Keywords: bacterial arthritis, arthritis of the hip, Streptococcus pneumoniae, invasive pneumococcal disease
