Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1997
Septic arthritis is a medical emergency that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment are critical to ensuring a good prognosis. Thus, this article reviews the clinical presentation, microbiology, diagnostic workup, and outcome of nonprosthetic joint infections.

This chapter describes a rational approach to septic arthritis based on sound principles of pathology and therapeutics. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential if normal function of the infected joint is to be restored. In any acute joint disease, infection must be suspected, and if present, detected.

During a 3 1/2 year period anaerobic septic arthritis was diagnosed in 43 patients (46 joints). The hip and knee accounted for 83% of the infected joints. Anaerobic infections complicated elective musculoskeletal surgery in 23 patients, including 21 with total joint arthroplasties. An additional 12 patients developed septic arthritis following surgical

Revue medicale suisse, 2010
Septic or acute bacterial arthritis is a medical emergency. The primary physician must suspect this condition even when clinical symptoms are non specific or with simultaneous inflammatory arthropathy. Septic arthritis can have serious complications. Optimal care requires hospital admission in general.

Septic arthritis is a direct invasion of the joints by pathogenic micro-organisms. These micro-organisms and their products stimulate the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and proteolytic enzymes that induce an inflammatory response and degradation of the cartilage.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2005
Septic arthritis has increased in incidence in the United States in the past two decades, and increasingly affects an older population with a greater burden of chronic illness and a higher risk for drug-resistant organisms. Successful management depends on a high diagnostic suspicion, empiric antibiotic treatment, and joint drainage.

Acute septic arthritis is a condition with the potential for joint destruction, physeal damage, and osteonecrosis, which warrants urgent identification and treatment. The organism most frequently responsible is Staphylococcus aureus; however, our understanding of pathogens continues to evolve as detection methods continue to improve.

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1976
Neonatal septic arthritis of the knee was encountered in nine infants during a two-year period, representing an incidence of 16.5 per 1,000 admissions to a neonatal intensive care unit. The etiologic agents included Staphylococcus aureus (3), Klebsiella (1), Streptococcus, group B (2), and Candida albicans (3).

Lactobacillus Septic Arthritis
Southern Medical Journal, 2007Lactobacillus is a Gram positive bacteria found in the mouth, gastrointestinal and female genital tract. Serious infections due to Lactobacillus are becoming increasingly common. We present a 49-year-old diabetic patient with Lactobacillus septic arthritis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case.
