Hello Good Evening,
It seems to
septic arthritis, brief details as follows:
Septic arthritis is the purulent invasion of a joint by an infectious agent which produces arthritis, and is considered a medical emergency.
The usual etiology of septic arthritis is bacterial, but viral, mycobacterial, and
fungal arthritis occur occasionally.
Septic arthritis should be considered whenever one is assessing a patient with rapid onset of joint pain.
Usually only one joint is affected (
monoarthritis).
Pain can be significant with any movement.
May have associated swelling, redness & warmth.
In the case of
gonorrhea the knee or wrist may be chronically affected.
Following tests should be done:
-Aspiration (giving a turbid, non-viscous fluid), Gram stain and culture of fluid from the joint.
-TLC
-ESR
-CRP
-X-ray of the joint
-
Ultrasound of the joint
So go to the orthopedic surgeon for further management including intravenous antibiotics, analgesia and may be washout/aspiration of the joint.
Regards,
Dr. Naresh Jain.
