Bacterial arthritis, particularly in peripheral joints, frequently affects children and older adults. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause, with delayed diagnosis impacting patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Context:

  • Bacterial arthritis of peripheral joints is a significant cause of joint inflammation and pain.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and clinical presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnostic delays, and etiologic agents of bacterial arthritis in a cohort of hospitalized patients.
  • To identify predisposing factors and long-term joint mobility outcomes.

Summary:

  • A 10-year retrospective study identified 13 patients hospitalized for bacterial arthritis.
  • The majority of cases involved monarthritis, with the shoulder, knee, and ankle being most commonly affected.
  • Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen, and a mean diagnostic delay of four days was observed.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in bacterial arthritis to prevent long-term joint damage.
  • Provides insights into patient demographics and common causative agents, aiding in clinical decision-making.
  • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in identifying predisposing conditions and potential risk factors.
