The following conditions increase the risk for septic arthritis:
* Artificial joint [[implant]]s
* Bacterial infection somewhere else in the body
* Chronic illness or disease (such as [[diabetes]], [[rheumatoid arthritis]], and [[sickle cell disease]])
* [[Intravenous]] (IV) or [[injection]] drug use
* Medications that suppress the [[immune system]]
* Recent joint injury
* Recent joint [[arthroscopy]] or other surgery
Septic arthritis may be seen at any age. In children, it occurs most often in those younger than 3 years. The hip is often the site of infection in infants. Septic arthritis is uncommon from age 3 to [[adolescence]]. Children with septic arthritis are more likely than adults to be infected with [[Group B Streptococcus|Group B streptococcus]] or [[Haemophilus influenza]], if they have not been vaccinated.

Overview

Risk Factors

Common Risk Factors

Most common risk factors that predisposes septic arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, prosthetic joint or joint replacement and skin infections.[1][2][3][4]

Other common risk factors that predispose septic arthritis are as follows:[5][4][6][7][8]

Type of risk factor Examples
Host phagocytic defects
Impaired host defense mechanisms
Direct penetration
  • Intravenous drug use
  • Puncture wonds
  • Intra articular steroid injection
Joint damage
Other risk factors

Micrbiological Clue Based on Risk factors

Type of risk factor Examples
Rheumatoid arthritis Staphylococcus aureus[12][13][8][14][4]
Immunocompromised patients Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, Enteric gram-negative bacilli, Listeria monocytogenes
Recent joint surgery Staphylococcus aureus
Intravenous drug use Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
