Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a cause of septic arthritis after a sewing needle injury

Bu yazıda 12 yaşında sağlıklı erkek bir olguda dikiş iğnesi ile yaralanma sonucu dizde gelişen septik artrit sunulmaktadır. Olgunun radyolojik incelemesinde femur medial kondilde metalik yabancı cisim gözlendi. Olguya klinik, radyolojik ve laboratuvar incelemeleri sonucu septik artrit tanısı konuldu. Hemen artroskopik debridman yapılarak yabancı cisim çıkartıldı. Cerrahi sonrası ikinci günde kültür sonucu Pseudomonas aeruginosa şeklinde bildirilen olgunun antibiyotik tedavisi başlandı ve 6 hafta devam edildi. Postoperatif dönem sorunsuz seyretti, hastanın eklem hareketleri normale döndü.

Dikiş iğnesi ile yaralanma sonrası gelişen septik artrit nedeni olarak pseudomonas aeruginosa

We report the case of 12 years old healthy boy with septic arthritis after a sewing needle injury on his knee. Radiological examination revealed a metallic foreign body in the medial femoral condyle. The case was diagnosed as septic arthritis according to clinical, radiological and laboratory findings. The patient immediately underwent arthroscopic debridement and needle was removed. As the culture result revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the second day postoperatively, antibiotic treatment was started and continued for six weeks. The postoperative course was uneventful and joint function returned to normal.
