Rat bite fever due to Streptobacillus notomytis complicated by meningitis and spondylodiscitis: a case report.

This case also showed that arthritis caused by S. notomytis mimics rheumatoid arthritis, and that meningitis and spondylodiscitis are potential coexisting complications that can be found in S. notomytis infection.
