[Septic polyarthritis: treatment complications and results].

OBJECTIVE: The rare polyarticular clinical presentation of peripheric septic arthritis has worst prognosis than monoarticular one. We studied 10 patients with polyarticular septic arthritis treated during the last 8 years, to evaluate functional result and complications after surgical treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 5 men and 5 women, with an average age of 46.5 years (range 18-75 years), they presented septic arthritis in two or more joints. We discuss aetiology, clinical presentation and treatment. RESULTS: Treatment was surgical debridement and parenteral antibiotic therapy. Functional result was poor in 54% of the joints treated, 50% of patients presented septic shock and three died.

[Hematogenous pubic osteoarthritis].

Pubic osteoarthritis is a little known pathological entity with a very controversial etiology. We present four cases of public osteoarthritis in which the infectious etiology was hematogeneous. The causal germs were: Staphilococcus aureus, Pseudomona aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Brucella melitensis. In the first three cases, a surgical approach was used, allowing us to establish the etiological diagnosis of the process and to perform the local debridement. In the case of brucellar etiology, an isolated medical treatment was applied, according to the therapeutical guidelines recommended for brucellar bone infections. We have not observed recurrence of the septic process in any of the four cases, with a follow-up period ranging from one to three years.
