Septic Arthritis
Septic arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease that is caused by an infection from bacteria, fungi, or viruses. It is characterized by severe pain, joint swelling, fever, and stiffness. The most common joints affected by septic arthritis are the knees, hips, and shoulders. Treatment typically involves a combination of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and occasionally surgery. Septic arthritis is a serious condition that can lead to permanent joint damage if not treated promptly and effectively. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for minimizing the risk of long-term disability or chronic joint damage.
