    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Rheumatology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Septic arthritis is a serious joint infection.
    • Identifying causative pathogens is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Understanding predisposing factors can aid in prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the epidemiology and clinical features of septic arthritis.
    • To identify the most common bacterial pathogens responsible for septic arthritis.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes and identify risk factors for poor prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 113 patients with 120 episodes of septic arthritis over 14 years.
    • Analysis of joint fluid and blood cultures for bacterial identification.
    • Assessment of patient history for comorbidities and predisposing factors.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluation of treatment response and long-term follow-up for persistent symptoms.

    • Main Results:

    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus were the most frequent causative agents.
    • Other bacterial species were identified in a smaller proportion of cases.
    • Concurrent infections and compromised immune status were common.
    • Most patients responded to medical management, but 8 patients died and 26 reported persistent joint pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Common bacteria are the primary cause of septic arthritis.
    • Septic arthritis often occurs in patients with comorbidities or weakened immunity.
    • While treatment is often effective, significant morbidity and mortality remain concerns.
