The classical presentation of acute septic arthritis includes recent onset of fever, malaise, and local findings of pain, warmth, swelling, and decreased range of motion. However, patients may present with atypical symptoms. [edoriumjournals.com]

Fevers are usually low-grade and rigors are only present in a minority of cases. [patient.info]

• Leukocytosis

  Marked leukocytosis may be seen in mycobacterial infection. [patient.info]

  The synovial fluid in these patients generally has less leukocytosis, and joint fluid cultures fail to grow organisms in a number of cases, so a synovial biopsy is recommended if there is concern. [healio.com]

  Laboratory findings may reveal leukocytosis, elevated sedimentation rate and CRP. Blood cultures are generally positive early in the course. Aerobic and anaerobic cultures and staining should be performed of bone aliquots. [anaerobicinfections.blogspot.com]

  The presentation could well have been attributed to a flare up of his Psoriatic arthritis, however the presence of fever, elevated inflammatory markers together with leukocytosis and neutrophilia did not correlate with Psoriatic sacroilitis alone. [jbji.net]

Management regarding antibiotic choice, dosage, route of administration, and duration of treatment is unknown in the treatment of septic arthritis. [physio-pedia.com]

If the patient is heamodynamically stable then attempts should be made to obtain a sample of joint fluid for microscopy and culture prior to starting treatment with antibiotics. This will allow focused treatment of the infection4. [radiopaedia.org]
