Appendicitis in a Child due to Streptococcus Pneumoniae: A Rare Case Report
A variety of bacterial species play a major role in appendicitis. Both aerobic and anaerobic gram positive and gram negative bacteria such as, Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Citrobacter freundii cause appendicitis.

| description | A variety of bacterial species play a major role in appendicitis. Both aerobic and anaerobic gram positive and gram negative bacteria
such as, Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Citrobacter freundii cause appendicitis.
Appendicitis is usually polymicrobial. The case assumes importance because of single aetiological agent i.e. unimicrobial and no
predisposing factors are present to cause infection. We report a rare case of appendicitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae in
child. This case emphasizes that Streptococcus pneumoniae can cause wide spectrum of disease like appendicitis. |
