Septic polyarthritis, a rare initial symptom of infective endocarditis, can rapidly lead to fatal outcomes. This case highlights the importance of considering infectious causes in acute joint inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Infective endocarditis (IE) can present with diverse rheumatic manifestations.
  • Septic polyarthritis is an uncommon but severe presentation of IE.

Observation:

  • An 86-year-old male presented with acute polyarthritis initially misdiagnosed as osteoarthritis exacerbation.
  • A few days later, septic polyarthritis was diagnosed as the primary symptom of infective endocarditis.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced a rapidly fatal course.
  • Septic polyarthritis, though rare, was the presenting sign of infective endocarditis in this case.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical need to consider IE in patients with acute polyarthritis, especially when initial diagnoses are unclear.

  • Early recognition and treatment of infective endocarditis are crucial to prevent rapid deterioration and mortality.
  • Rheumatologists and infectious disease specialists should be aware of this rare presentation of IE.
