Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Native joint septic arthritis is frequent in dialyzed patients, because of comorbidities and immune system impairment. Nevertheless, its diagnosis and treatment can be challenging due to different clinical presentations, difficult pathogen isolation and risk of infection despite surgical irrigation and debridement procedures. We report herein two cases of native glenohumeral joint septic arthritis, discussing in depth the difficulties met during the diagnostic and therapeutic process.
