Overview
Septic arthritis should be considered whenever one is assessing a patient with joint pain. Usually only one joint is affected (monoarthritis) however in seeding arthritis, several joints can be affected simultaneously; this is especially the case when the infection is caused by staphylococcus or gonococcus bacteria.
Symptoms
Common Symptoms
Symptoms usually come on quickly. There is a fever, and joint swelling that is usually in just one joint. There is also intense joint pain, which gets worse with movement.
Symptoms in newborns or infants:
- Cries when infected joint is moved (example: diaper change causes crying if hip joint is infected)
- Fever
- Inability to move the limb with the infected joint (pseudoparalysis)
- Irritability
Symptoms in children and adults:
- Inability to move the limb with the infected joint (pseudoparalysis)
- Intense joint pain
- Joint swelling
- Joint redness
- Low fever
Less Common Symptoms
Chills may occur, but are uncommon.
Microorganism Involved Based on The Clinical History and Symptoms
| Clinical history | Joints involved | Most likely microorganism |
|---|---|---|
| Intravenous drug use[1][2] | Involvement of axial joints
(e.g. sternoclavicular or sacroiliac joint) |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Staphylococcus aureus |
| Sexual activity | Tenosynovial involvement in hands, wrists, or ankles | Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
| Terminal complement deficiency[1] | Tenosynovial involvement in hands, wrists, or ankles | Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
| Dog or cat bite | Small joints involvement | Capnocytophaga species
Pasteurella multocida |
| Ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products[1] | Monoarticular involvement, in specific sacroiliac joint | Brucella species |
| Nail through shoe | Foot | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| Soil exposure/gardening | Monoarticular involvement: knee, hand, or wrist | Nocardia species
Sporothrix schenckii |
| Soil or dust exposure containing decomposed wood
(north-central and southern United States)[3] |
Monoarticular: knee, ankle, or elbow | Blastomyces dermatitidis |
| Southwestern United States, Central and South America
(primary respiratory illness) |
Knee | Coccidioides immitis |
| Cleaning fish tank[1][4] | Small joints involvement (e.g. fingers, wrists) | Mycobacterium marinum |
