Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Septic sacroiliitis (SSI) is a rare pyogenic arthritis with potential for severe morbidity and disability if untreated.
  • It predominantly affects young adults, particularly individuals with a history of drug abuse.

Observation:

  • This report presents three characteristic cases of SSI based on a literature survey.
  • Key symptoms include acute or subacute gluteal, hip, or low back pain with fever.
  • Laboratory findings are often non-specific, complicating diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Bacteriologic diagnosis is achieved in approximately 75% of cases.
  • Tc-99m-MDP bone scintigraphy demonstrates increased uptake in the affected joint within a week of symptom onset in nearly all cases.

  • Antibiotic therapy generally leads to complete recovery.

    • Implications:

    • SSI should be considered in patients presenting with relevant pain and fever.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve patient outcomes and prevent lasting disability.
    • Bone scintigraphy is a valuable tool for early detection of septic sacroiliitis.
