Abstract
Abstract: Septic arthritis of the symphysis pubis is a rare condition. Commonly affected groups include athletes who participate in sports requiring forceful hip adduction, females in third-trimester pregnancy or after gynecological procedures, patients with pelvic malignancy, and intravenous drug users. The most common causative agents are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with the infection being polymicrobial in many cases. We report such a case in a 16-year-old girl who presented with pelvic pain for 2 months with no history of trauma. This case highlights the clinical implications of septic arthritis of the symphysis pubis, emphasizing the importance of awareness for accurate diagnosis and informed clinical decision-making. Understanding this rare condition is crucial for providing appropriate medical care and navigating potential complications in affected individuals. We will also discuss current knowledge of this condition’s epidemiology and microbiology and outline the recommended practices for investigation and treatment.
