A case of pneumococcal pyarthrosis involving multiple joints in a moderate haemophiliac is reported. To our knowledge this is the second report of this rare complication in the English literature. Infection should be considered in an acutely inflamed joint in a haemophiliac with hyperpyrexia and unresponsive to replacement therapy. A review of the literature and our observation in this case highlight some criteria that could be used to diagnose this rare but debilitating complication early.
报告了一例中度血友病患者发生肺炎球菌性多关节化脓性关节炎的病例。据我们所知，这是英文文献中关于这种罕见并发症的第二篇报道。对于血友病患者出现急性炎症关节、高热且对替代疗法无反应的情况，应考虑感染因素。文献回顾及我们对该病例的观察突出了一些可用于早期诊断这种罕见但使人衰弱的并发症的标准。
