Acromioclavicular Septic Arthritis by Staphylococcus argenteus. Case Report
Abstract
Acromioclavicular septic arthritis is an extremely rare condition that usually occurs in highly vascular joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder. The most frequently isolated pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. In this presentation we describe a 56-year-old patient with septic arthritis at the acromioclavicular level, requiring emergency surgical intervention. As another peculiarity, the isolated germ was Staphylococcus argenteus, an extremely rare bacterium in this type of pathology.Downloads
