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.

Abstract Background: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there was a difference between septic arthritis (SA) combined with osteomyelitis and SA alone with regard to clinical and laboratory findings, such as symptoms on admission, age, sex, joint involvement and isolated micro‐organisms, and a relationship between age and joint ...

Septic arthritis of the wrist is an uncommon condition, but one that can result in substantial morbidity. Timely identification and treatment is critical to patient care. No serum laboratory values have been shown to consistently confirm wrist joint infection. Thus, diagnosis is made based mainly on a thorough patient history, physical examination, and

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.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
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

Septic arthritis in haemophilia
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1993Septic arthritis has been regarded as rare in haemophiliacs, but its incidence may have increased since HIV infection has become widespread in these patients. We describe six cases treated at one haemophilia unit over a two-year period and discuss their investigation, diagnosis and treatment. Four of the patients were seropositive to anti-HIV.

Septic Arthritis in the Elderly
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990Twenty-one patients older than 60 years of age with septic arthritis were reviewed over a ten-year period. The knee was the joint most commonly involved. Concurrent medical illnesses were noted in the majority of patients, with diabetes mellitus present in 24%.

Septic Arthritis in the Elderly
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1985The clinical and microbiologic features of septic arthritis in 23 elderly patients are reviewed. Fifteen patients had pre‐existing joint diseases, predominantly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Eight patients had underlying systemic illnesses, and eight patients were receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy prior to the development of septic ...

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.
