Generalpopulation

• Age : elderly>60 yr , Newborn

• Systemic disorders: DM ,RA ,H/D, immunosuppressive drug , HIV infect

• Local factors : Prosthetic joint, OA ,RA ,recent joint surgery, direct joint trauma

PREDISPOSING FACTOR

ORGANISM

60% - S.aureous20% - Streptococcus spp.13% - Gram – negative bacilli4% - Polymicrobial3% - Anaerobes

ORGANISM

Age Organism1 Neonates Streptococcus

Gram-negative organisms2 Infants Staphylococcus aureus

Hemophilus influenza3 Children Staphylococcus aureus

Salmonella4 Adolescent Staphylococcus aureus

Neisseria gonorrhea5 Adults Staphylococcus aureus

Streptococcus Gram-negative organisms

6 IV drug abusers Suspect Pseudomonas and atypical organisms

• Route of infection• Hematogenous spreading• Direct inoculation• Adjacent focal infection

PATHOGENESIS

• Onset of the joint pain• monoarticular or polyarticular • The presence of extra-articular symptoms• Previous history of joint disease or trauma, accidental

or iatrogenic• STD• Intravenous drug abuse

HISTORY

CLINICAL FEATURES

• Fever (high grade fever ~ 50%)• Acute monoarticular arthritis (~80-90%)

Abrupt onset of hot, painful, and swollen jointObvious joint effusionLimitation of passive and active motion

• Polyarticular (~10-20% :- IVDU, DM, RA)

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE MONOARTHRITIS

• Soft tissue infection• Crystal-induced arthritis• Traumatic

arthritis/hemarthrosis• Reactive arthritis

NEWMAN’S CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS OF SEPTIC ARTHRITIS

A. Organism isolated from jointB. Organism isolated from elsewhereC. No organism isolated but

(i) histological or radiological evidence of infection(ii) turbid fluid aspirated from joint

Normalsynovial fluid

Septic (Type 3)

Transparent, colorless or pale straw-colored

Purulent or opaque

WBC < 200 WBC > 60,000PMN < 25% PMN > 80%

Sugar = Blood Sugar <50% blood

Gram stain: (-) May be (+) in septic arthritis

Culture: (-) (+) in septic arthritis

Wet prep : (-) Crystals

Normal synovialfluid

Crystal – induced arthritis, Bacterial arthritis

SYNOVIAL FLUID ANALYSIS• Macroscopic finding

• Turbid, decreased viscosity• WBC count

• > 60,000 mm3, PMN > 80%• Glucose < 50-75% of serum value

• Blood

-CBC-ESR,CRP-Hemoculture

• Imaging

-plain film-ultrasound-CT-MRI

• Synovial fluid analysis

-color, transparency-G/S, C/S-Cell diff/cell count-crystal-glucose

RADIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS

TREATMENT

Antibiotics

Aspiration

Rehabilitation

ANTIBIOTICS • Start as soon as all specimens are obtained for C/S

• Intravenous antibiotic at least 2 weeksS. Aureus : cloxacillin,1st 2nd gen cephalosporin

MRSA : vancomycin

Strep gr.A , H. influenza : cefuroxime

Pseudomonas aeruginosa : ceftazidime + gentamycin

• Oral antibiotic for the following 2 – 6 weeks

• Surgical debridementserial joint aspiration in 24-36 Hr.arthrotomy, arthroscopic technique

JOINT ASPIRATION

REHABILITATION • Rest in optimal joint position

• Continuous passive motion device

• Muscle strengthening exercise

• Active ROM and weight-bearing as pain resolves

• Difficult to drain or to assess the adequacy of drainage

• Inability to adequate drainage by needle aspiration• Unresponsive to medical treatment• Vertebral osteomyelitis with spinal cord compression• Coexistent osteomyelitis• Prosthesis septic joint• Foreign body in joint

INDICATION FOR ORTHOPEDIC CONSULTATION

OUTCOME• Complete resolution• Partial loss articular cartilage and fibrosis of joint• Loss of articular cartilage and bony ankylosis• Bone destruction and permanent deformity of

the joint
