Abstract

Septic arthritis at any age is a clinical emergency and more so in new born and infancy. Delay in diagnosis and treatment of septic arthritis can result in complications and significant morbidity including complete destruction of the articular cartilage and underlying epiphysis, loss of adjacent growth plate and dislocation of joints. Hence, understanding the importance of clinical evaluation and diagnostic aids such as ultrasonography, blood investigation, and roentgenography is vital in efficient management of this condition.
