Why do gonococcal infections result in septic arthritis of the knee?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Septic arthritis of the knee due to gonococcal infection occurs as a complication of disseminated gonococcal infection, facilitated by hematogenous spread of the bacterium to the synovial spaces, where intense immune-mediated inflammation develops. No direct evidence was found explaining the predisposition of the knee joint to this condition.
