Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Septic arthritis literature from 1991 is reviewed.
  • Predispositions include local joint abnormalities (osteoarthritis, apatite-associated arthropathy) and systemic factors (rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, HIV, intravenous drug abuse).
  • Animal studies investigated synovitis induction and synovectomy in septic arthritis management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the 1991 literature on septic arthritis in adults.
  • To highlight predisposing factors, unusual causative agents, and complications.
  • To discuss septic bursitis from a community practice viewpoint.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of 1991 publications on septic arthritis.
  • Analysis of case studies and animal research.

  • Categorization of predisposing factors and causative microorganisms.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified local and systemic predisposing factors for septic arthritis.
    • Documented unusual microorganisms (Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Moraxella catarrhalis, meningococci, diphtheroids) and pathogenesis (Mycobacterium gastri, pelvic infection extension).
    • Presented immune complex glomerulonephritis as an extra-articular complication.

    Conclusions:

    • Septic arthritis has diverse predisposing factors and causative agents.
    • Unusual presentations and extra-articular complications require clinical awareness.
    • Septic bursitis is a relevant consideration in community practice.
