Abstract:
Bone and joint infections can occur as the consequence of a wide variety of systemic diseases. Disseminated fungal and mycobacterial infections, hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea, Lyme disease, and AIDS can all have osteoarticular manifestations. A thorough knowledge of the wide range of potential pathogens is key to establishing a correct diagnosis and instituting appropriate treatment.
