  • Title: Septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis.
    Author: Nitsche A, Mogni GO, Gorostiaga PE.
    Journal: Clin Exp Rheumatol; 1989; 7(4):421-2. PubMed ID: 2591115.
    Abstract:
    Septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis developed in a previously healthy 13-year-old boy. Blood cultures and the culture of material taken by joint aspiration of the pubic symphysis under radioscopic control yielded Staphilococcus aureus. Early treatment with parenteral antibiotics prevented the development of osteomyelitis of the pubic rami in our patient. Open debridement was not necessary.
