Septic arthritis
Septic arthritis, or infectious arthritis, is a severe joint infection caused by microorganisms like bacteria. It often spreads via the bloodstream or direct inoculation. Prompt treatment is essential to avoid joint injury and systemic consequences.
Key Points
- Reason: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus are common pathogens.
- Risk factors: advanced age, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and immunosuppression.
- Symptoms: joint pain, swelling, warmth, fever, and restricted motion.
- Diagnosis: synovial fluid analysis, imaging, and lab tests.
- Treatment: empirical antibiotics, joint drainage, and supportive care.
At the Infectious Diseases World Conference, experts can emphasise the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management to improve outcomes for septic arthritis patients.
