Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1978
A retrospective study of tuberculosis infection of joints over a 10 year period has identified 21 documented cases. The patients were, for the most part, of rural, middle-class background and usually in the fifth to seventh decade. Diagnosis was commonly missed with the exception of spinal lesions.

Infections of Bones and Joints
2009In order to produce disease, parasites must be able to invade host tissues, multiply and spread, and produce toxic substances. The ability to produce disease is known as pathogenicity, and the comparative pathogenicity of different organisms is expressed as virulence.

Prosthetic joint infections in the elderly
Infection, 2015Recent age-projection showed that the number of elderly is expected to rise significantly over the next decades worldwide. Accordingly, the prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases will increase, among them osteoarthritis, resulting in more and older patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty and thereby also being at risk for associated ...

Of Bugs and Joints: The Relationship Between Infection and Joints
Reumatología Clínica (English Edition), 2013The association between microbes and joints has existed since antiquity, and remains complex. Diagnosis is often times difficult to determine despite highly suspicious clinical characteristics for the presence of an underlying infection. Over the several past decades, considerable advances have occurred in diagnostic methodologies and therapy. However,

Fungal infections of the bones and joints
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2001Osteoarticular complications may occur with a variety of invasive fungal infections, and seem to be increasing with growing use of prosthetic joints and as the immunosuppressed patient population increases. Epidemiology, pathogenesis, presentation, and management strategies differ somewhat among the different fungal species.

Infection can arise at any time within the bone or soft tissues, and sepsis should always be a consideration in the assessment of an acutely swollen, painful joint. An acute infection is an orthopaedic emergency, and prompt assessment should always be sought. Infection can affect either joints (septic arthritis) or bones (osteomyelitis).

Septic bone and joint infections
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1996During the past few years, new information on the pathogenesis of skeletal and joint infections and the host-parasite interaction has been presented. Although this is basic research, several recent case reports have shown that experimental laboratory findings are often relevant for the practical treatment of patients.
