An 88-year-old man developed infected prepatellar bursitis from atypical mycobacteria. Tuberculosis is a key consideration in diagnosing prepatellar bursitis, as shown by a literature review.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Prepatellar bursitis is a common condition affecting the knee.
  • Infectious etiologies, while less common, require prompt diagnosis and treatment.
  • Atypical mycobacterial infections are rare but serious causes of bursitis.

Observation:

  • An elderly patient presented with prepatellar bursitis.
  • The infection was caused by an atypical mycobacterium species.
  • This case highlights a rare but significant cause of knee inflammation.

Findings:

  • The patient's prepatellar bursitis was secondary to atypical mycobacterial infection.
  • A comprehensive literature review identified tuberculosis as a crucial differential diagnosis for prepatellar bursitis.

  • Atypical mycobacteria represent an under-recognized cause of infectious prepatellar bursitis.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of prepatellar bursitis, especially in atypical cases.
    • Early identification of mycobacterial infections is vital for effective treatment and patient outcomes.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering diverse pathogens in infectious bursitis.
