Cervical lymphadenopathy in children usually has an infectious or reactive etiology, but patients with persistent findings, adolescent age and accompanying systemic symptoms or abnormal laboratory findings should undergo an early biopsy. In our fifteen-year-old girl, who observed cervical lymphomegaly for 4 weeks without improvement, Staphylococcus saprophyticus was cultured from a peroperative biopsy. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) represent the main part of the microflora of the skin and mucous membranes of humans, but they can also be used as important opportunistic pathogens.

Keywords: coagulase negative staphylococci, CoNS, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, cervical lymphadenitis, adolescent girl.
