Abstract (2. Language): 
In this case report, a case of septic arthritis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae from an old patient with multiple myeloma was presented, who received therapy due to vertebral fracture in the orthopedics clinic of our institute. The patient fully recovered without any complication, following the cefamezin infusion for four weeks. S. pneumoniae should be regarded as an aetiologic agent particularly among children and high risk bearing old patients. ©2007, Firat University, Medical Faculty
