Septic arthritis is a joint infection caused by the invasion of an infectious agent into a joint, causing inflammation. Common symptoms include redness, heat, pain and decreased mobility in a single joint. It can be caused by joint injuries, surgeries, medical conditions like diabetes, or IV drug use. Diagnosis involves testing synovial fluid, blood, and imaging the joint. Treatment consists of antibiotics for several weeks, fluid drainage from the joint, and sometimes surgery, along with NSAIDs and physical therapy.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS • Septic arthritis symptoms may include: • Chills. • Fatigue and generalized weakness. • Fever. • Inability to move the limb with the infected joint. • Severe pain in the affected joint, especially with movement. • Swelling (increased fluid within the joint) • Warmth (the joint is red and warm to touch because of increased blood flow)
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS • Synovial fluid analysis • Blood culture • CBC • Culture of joint fluid • ESR or C reactive protein • X-ray • CT AND MRI
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT • Antibiotics:- to treat infections for 2weeks • Fluid aspiration from affected joints to relieve pressure and analysis • Surgery to drain the infected joint fluid, arthrotomy and Arthroscopy to remove dead cells and exudate • NSAID AND PHYSIOTHERAPY
