  • Title: Acute infectious arthritis. A review of patients with nongonococcal joint infections (with emphasis on therapy and prognosis).
    Author: Goldenberg DL, Cohen AS.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1976 Mar; 60(3):369-77. PubMed ID: 769545.
    Abstract:
    The clinical course of 59 patients with acute nongonococcal septic arthritis has been reviewed with special emphasis on the changing bacterial spectrum in recent years. The results of treatment were dependent on various factors, including the specific microbial agent and host defenses. Treatment should include parenteral antibiotics and drainage with needle aspiration, except in hips which should be surgically drained. Successful therapy requires rapid initiation of treatment and ongoing assessment of adequacy of response.
