A significant proportion of the world's population is afflicted with tuberculosis, fungal infections, or parasitic diseases. The epidemic of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in developing and developed countries is partially responsible for the increased number of cases. These conditions can cause infectious arthritis and localized bone infection. In addition, reactive arthritis, manifestations that resemble connective tissue disorders, and vasculitis continue to be reported. Prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment of these infections continue to be emphasized in the current literature.
世界上很大一部分人口患有结核病、真菌感染或寄生虫病。发展中国家和发达国家的获得性免疫缺陷综合征疫情在一定程度上导致了病例数的增加。这些病症可引起感染性关节炎和局部骨感染。此外，反应性关节炎、类似结缔组织疾病的表现以及血管炎仍不断有报告。当前文献中继续强调对这些感染进行及时诊断和充分治疗。
