Overview
Natural History
Complications
- Joint degeneration (arthritis)
Prognosis
Prognosis septic arthritis depends on various factors such host immune response, pre existing joint disease, presence of risk factors, virulence of the pathogen and the duration between onset of symptoms and diagnosis.[1][2][3]
Recovery is good with prompt antibiotic treatment. If treatment is delayed, permanent joint damage may result.
