Two cases of septic arthritis in immunocompetent paediatric patients Open Access

Abstract

is a rare cause of septic arthritis in children, and has intrinsic resistance to common antibiotics. We describe two cases of septic arthritis in children that required re-presentation to hospital with prolonged treatment, and highlight the importance of considering as a potential cause of infection among children with penetrating injuries and associated environmental exposure.
