Abstract: | OBJECTIVES: To report two patients who developed reactive arthritis in association with Staphylococcus aureus infection. METHODS: A review of the case notes of two patients. RESULTS: Two adult female patients have developed sterile arthritis in association with Staph aureus infection. The first patient has had two episodes of arthritis; the first followed olecranon bursitis, the second followed infection of a central venous catheter used for dialysis. The second patient developed sterile arthritis while being treated for pyomyositis. Both patients had a self limited arthritis and were HLA-B27 negative. CONCLUSION: Reactive arthritis may rarely follow Staph aureus infection. HLA-B27 negativity may be associated with a self limited arthritis in these cases. |
