Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Septic arthritis in infants under two months is uncommon.
  • This study reviews eighteen cases diagnosed over seven years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical characteristics, pathogens, and outcomes of infantile septic arthritis.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for preventing sequelae.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Review of medical records for diagnosis, symptoms, affected joints, pathogens, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The hip was the most commonly affected joint (55% had osteomyelitis).
  • Staphylococcus aureus and group B Streptococcus were predominant pathogens.
  • Total parenteral nutrition was a predisposing factor in S. aureus cases.

Conclusions:

  • Early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic therapy are vital for preventing disabling sequelae.
  • Open drainage is recommended for hip and shoulder septic arthritis.
