          Abstract

          Kingella denitrificans est un micro-organisme faisant partie de la flore oropharangienne non pathogène. Ce germe est récemment reconnu responsable d'infections invasives opportunistes qui surviennent essentiellement sur des terrains d'immunodépression. Ainsi, Il nous a paru intéressant de rapporter un cas de bactériémie due à Kingella denitrificans, bacilles gram négatif de culture difficile encore exceptionnellement décrit dans la littérature chez un enfant âgé de 3 ans et 7 mois suivi depuis l'âge de un an pour un syndrome d'insuffisance médullaire avec pancytopénie dont l'origine est restée indéterminée. Les cliniciens et les microbiologistes doivent penser davantage à ce germe surtout sur un terrain débilité. L'utilisation des flacons d'hémoculture contribue d'une façon significative à la détection de ce germe.

          Translated abstract

          Kingella denitrificans is a non-pathogenic micro-organism present in oropharyngeal flora. This germ has been recently recognized as responsible for opportunistic invasive infections mainly affecting immunosuppressed patients. We here report the case of a child aged 3 years and 7 months followed-up since the age of one year for bone marrow failure syndrome associated with pancytopenia of undetermined origin who had bacteremia due to Kingella denitrificans, a group of difficult to culture gram-negative bacteria rarely described in the literature. Clinicians and microbiologists should suspect the presence of this germ especially in immunosuppressed patients. The use of blood culture bottle contributes in a significant way to the detection of this germ.
