  • Title: Group G streptococcal septic arthritis.
    Author: Rady M, Turner PG, Ross ER.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract; 1990 Jul; 44(7):287-9. PubMed ID: 2206829.
    Abstract:
    The Lancefield group G streptococcus is known to be a cause of serious infective illness. However, few cases of septic arthritis are recorded. Only one report of this infection, following total joint replacement, has appeared in the orthopaedic literature. Here we describe a further case of infection in a previously normal joint that presented with unusual clinical findings and radiographic changes. We stress the importance of accurate bacteriological investigation and aggressive treatment.
