Escherichia coli mono articular septic arthritis of shoulder joint in an elderly female

Septic arthritis of the shoulder joint is a very rare entity to encounter in clinical practice. Escherichia coli (E. coli) pathogen isolation is only seen to occur in individuals with multiple comorbidities. We report a similar case of gram-negative E. coli urosepsis in a veteran female that transmitted hematogenously to the shoulder joint and how a prompt diagnosis and treatment prevented extension and damage of the joint space.

Septic arthritis of the shoulder joint in a child with sickle cell trait and G6PD deficiency

Septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and osteonecrosis are known complications of sickle cell disease in children. However, similar complications in cases of sickle cell trait (SCT) are infrequent. Further, septic arthritis involving the shoulder joint in a child with SCT is uncommon. Here, we are reporting a case of a 6-year-old male child with SCT with septic arthritis involving the shoulder joint and associated with G6PD deficiency. He was presented with pain and restriction of the range of movements around the right shoulder joint. On the evaluation of hematological and biochemical parameters, it is found to be a case of SCT with G6PD deficiency. X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder joint revealed a case of septic arthritis of the right shoulder joint. The patient underwent anterior shoulder arthroscopic incision and drainage under general anesthesia by the pediatric orthopedic team. He received 2 weeks of injectable vancomycin (60 mg/kg/day divided in six hourly dose), and another 2 weeks of oral linezolid (10 mg/kg/dose, three times a day) based on the culture sensitivity report was given. Physiotherapy was started after 2 weeks of surgery, and gradual improvement of the movements around shoulder joints was marked. The patient was discharged in good condition on day 28 of admission.

Osteomyelitis of scapula with secondary septic arthritis of shoulder joint in a six month old child.

We report a case of delayed diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the scapula extending to glenoid, with secondary septic arthritis of glenohumeral joint in a 6-month-old female infant. We performed urgent arthrotomy of the shoulder joint through an anterior approach with drainage of pus from the scapula through a posterior approach and prescribed intravenous antibiotics. Diagnosis was delayed as the patient initially presented with pneumonia, for which she was treated in the neonatal intensive care unit; at that time, all medical efforts were directed toward saving her life. Had the diagnosis been made earlier, septic arthritis of the shoulder might have been prevented. Diagnosis of septic shoulder arthritis is rare and difficult, requiring a high index of suspicion. septic arthritis, infection, scapular osteomyelitis.
