Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Septic arthritis is an acute infection of a joint, most commonly bacterial from hematogenous seeding as a complication of bacteremia. It is potentially life-threatening and has a mortality rate approaching 10%. An acutely warm, tender, and swollen joint with restricted movement due to pain should be considered septic until proved otherwise. Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) septic arthritis is a rare process associated with intravenous drug abuse, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and immunosuppressed individuals. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1181041131 ER -
