Septic arthritis significance: A path toward awareness

Septic arthritis is considered the fastest joint destructive disease and a medical emergency. The most common etiological agents are bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus is the main cause of infection. The etiological agent and the host immune response might determine the clinical presentation and the ev...
