Overview
Septic arthritis most commonly develop as a result of hematogenous spreading of bacteria into the synovial membrane, that induces inflammatory reactions. Eventually, release of cytokines and activation of both host humoral and immunological response along with bacterial virulence factors damages articular surface and cartilage.[1][2]
Pathophysiology
| Bacterial colonization and adherence into the synovium ⬇ | |
|---|---|
| Mechanism of transmission | Hematogenous spread: Septic arthritis most commonly develop as a result of hematogenous spreading bacteria into the vascular synovial membrane.[1] Hematogenous spread is commonly associate with injection drug use, presence of indwelling catheters, and an underlying immunocompromised state such as HIV infection.
Determinants of hematognous seeding:[1]
Risk factors: Diabetes mellitus, HIV, immunosuppressants, intravenous drug abuse, osteoarthritis, prosthetic joint and rheumatoid arthritis.[3][4][5] Direct inoculation: Direct inoculation of microorganisms may occur during deep penetrating injuries, intra-articular steroid injection, arthroscopy or prosthetic joint surgery, particularly in association with knee and hip arthroplasties.[2][6][5] Risk factors: Previous history of intra-articular injection, prosthetic joint: early and delayed, recent joint surgery.[3] Contiguous spread: Bone infection such as osteomyelitis can spread by breaking through its outer cortex and then into the intracapsular region that lead to joint infection. Risk factors: Skin infection, cutaneous ulcers.[3][4] |
| Role of bacterial products in pathogenesis | Bacterial attachment protein receptors termed as microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs) that attach host joint extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen, laminin, elastin etc. and promote colonization and initiate the infectious process.[7][8] The role of bacterial products is activation of host immune response and deteriorate the tissue destruction.[9] |
| Escape mechanism developed by pathogen | Adherence of pathogen to fibronectin on host tissue with its fibronectin receptors[10] ⬇ Internalization of pathogen by host mechanisms such as pseudopod formation or through receptor-mediated endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits[11] After internalization pathogen into the host cells such as osteoblasts, it survives intracellularly and induces apoptosis in the other cells through the activation of host immune response[12] |
| Host immune response | Due to rapid proliferation of bacteria predesposes to activation of host acute inflammatory response
⬇ Synovial cells releases host inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and IL-6 into the synovium[13] ⬇ Activation of acute phase reactants by Interleukins[14] ⬇ Acute phase reactants bind to pathogen and promote opsonization and phagocytosis and activates complement system[15] ⬇ Phagocytosis of pathogen by macrophages, synovial cells and neutrophils with the release of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor, IL-6 and nitric oxide.[16] |
| Humoral immunity and adaptive immunity also activates by superantigens of pathogens and promote clearance of pathogen by releasing Interferon-gamma, IL-4, IL-10 that reduces the host mortality and joint destruction.[17][18] | |
| Joint destruction | As long as the immune system is able to remove the pathogen from synovium quickly, host is able to protect the joint. If immune system is weak or it is unable to clear the pathogen quickly, there is a potent activation of immune system that causes the joint destruction. |
| Potent activation of immune system and release of cytokines and oxygen free radicals[19]
⬇ Activation and release of Metalloproteinases, Lysosomal enzymes and proteolytic enzymes from lysosomes, neutrophils and other inflammatory cells[20] ⬇ Further damage of joint by bacterial toxins[21] ⬇ Infectious process and inflammatory response lead to joint effusion[22][23][24] ⬇ Increased intra-articular pressure ⬇ Mechanical obstruction to the joint blood supply ⬇ | |
