Single epoch K-band photometry of 32 RR Lyrae stars in the young galacticglobular cluster IC4499 is presented. The mean magnitudes have been estimatedusing the K-band template light-curves of Jones, Carney and Fulbright (1996).We derive an independent estimate of the distance and reddening for the clusterbased on the new <Mk>-logP-[Fe/H] relation from Bono et al.(2003) which has azero-point in agreement with the canonical LMC distance of (m-M)0 = 18.5. Foran assumed metallicity of [Fe/H]=-1.65+-0.1 we find (m-M)0 = 16.47+-0.04+-0.06(random and systematic errors respectively) and E(B-V)=0.24+-0.03 in goodagreement with the findings of Walker and Nemec (1996) based on optical data.The distance estimate is very robust to uncertainties in the reddening estimatebut naturally depends directly on the adopted zero-point of the<Mk>-logP-[Fe/H] relation.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication by A&
