We report a healthy 5-year-old boy without apparent risk factors who developed septic arthritis of the hip from Haemohilus parainfluenzae infection. A literature review revealed only 4 pediatric cases of osteoarticular infection caused by this pathogen. To our knowledge, our case may be the first pediatric case of septic arthritis of the hip caused by H. parainfluenzae.
