Overview
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
Most common risk factors that predisposes septic arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, prosthetic joint or joint replacement and skin infections.[1][2][3][4]
Other common risk factors that predispose septic arthritis are as follows:[5][4][6][7][8]
| Type of risk factor | Examples | |
|---|---|---|
| Host phagocytic defects |
| |
| Impaired host defense mechanisms |
| |
| Direct penetration |

| Joint damage |

The following conditions increase the risk for septic arthritis:
- Artificial joint implants
- Bacterial infection somewhere else in the body
- Chronic illness or disease (such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and sickle cell disease)
- Intravenous (IV) or injection drug use
- Medications that suppress the immune system
- Recent joint injury
- Recent joint arthroscopy or other surgery
Septic arthritis may be seen at any age. In children, it occurs most often in those younger than 3 years. The hip is often the site of infection in infants. Septic arthritis is uncommon from age 3 to adolescence. Children with septic arthritis are more likely than adults to be infected with Group B streptococcus or Haemophilus influenza, if they have not been vaccinated.
