  • Septic Arthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint
    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2012.06.110196 on 7 November 2012. Downloaded from BRIEF REPORT Septic Arthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint Jason Womack, MD Septic arthritis is a medical emergency that requires immediate action to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. The sternoclavicular joint may have a more insidious onset than septic arthritis at other sites. A high index of suspicion and judicious use of laboratory and radiologic evaluation can help so- lidify this diagnosis. The sternoclavicular joint is likely to become infected in the immunocompromised patient or the patient who uses intravenous drugs, but sternoclavicular joint arthritis in the former is uncommon. This case series describes the course of 2 immunocompetent patients who were treated conservatively for septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint. (J Am Board Fam Med 2012;25: 908–912.)

We review the changing epidemiology of infectious arthritis, which incidence seems to be increasing due to several factors. We discuss various different risk factors for development of septic arthritis and examine host factors, bacterial proteins and enzymes described to be essential for the pathogenesis of septic arthritis. Diagnosis of disease should be making by an experienced clinician and it is almost based on clinical symptoms, a detailed history, a careful examination and test results. Treatment of septic arthritis should include prompt removal of purulent synovial fluid and needle aspiration. There is little evidence on which to base the choice and duration of antibiotic therapy, but treatment should be based on the presence of risk factors and the likelihood of the organism involved, patient’s age and results of Gram’s stain. Furthermore, we revised joint and bone infections due to tuberculosis and atypical mycobacteria, with a special mention of tuberculosis associated with anti-TNFα and biologic agents. Keywords: Septic arthritis; Tuberculosis arthritis; Antibiotic therapy; Several factors have contributed to the increase in the incidence Anti-TNFα; Immunosuppression of septic arthritis in recent years, such as increased orthopedic- related infections, an aging population and an increase in the use of Joint and bone infections are uncommon, but are true rheumatologic immunosuppressive therapy [4].

  • A Rheumatologist Needs to Know About the Adult with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
    A Rheumatologist Needs to Know About the Adult With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) encompasses a range of distinct phenotypes. By definition, JIA includes all forms of arthritis of unknown cause that start before the 16th birthday. The most common form is oligoarticular JIA, typically starting in early childhood (before age 6) and affecting only a few large joints. Polyarticular JIA, affecting 5 joints or more, can occur at any age; older children may develop seropositive arthritis indistinguishable from adult rheumatoid arthritis. Systemic JIA (sJIA) is characterized by fevers and rash at onset of disease, though it may evolve into an afebrile chronic polyarthritis that can be resistant to therapy. Patients with sJIA, like those with adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD), are susceptible to macrophage activation syndrome, a “cytokine storm” characterized by fever, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and end organ dysfunction. Other forms of arthritis in children include psoriatic JIA and so-called “enthesitis related arthritis,” encompassing the non-psoriatic spondyloarthropathies. Approximately 50% of JIA patients will have active disease into adulthood. JIA can be accompanied by destructive chronic uveitis. In addition to joints, JIA can involve the eyes, resulting in a form of chronic scarring uveitis not seen in adult arthritis. Patients at particularly high risk are those with oligoarticular or polyarticular arthritis beginning before the age of 6 years, especially if accompanied by positive ANA at any titer. In thehighest risk group, up to 30% of children may be affected. Patients who did not develop uveitis in childhood are very unlikely to do so as adults.
