Septic arthritis, also known as infectious arthritis, is inflammation of the joints due to a wide range of pathogens, such as bacterial, fungal, mycobacterial, viral, or/and other pathogens; however, some opportunistic pathogens tend to affect immunocompromised patients and rarely infect immunocompetent patients. For example, is an opportunistic pathogen with a particular tropism toward bones and soft tissues that rarely causes infections in immunocompetent humans. We present a case of causing septic arthritis in a 34-year-old man who is medically free and with no history of previous surgeries or any other comorbidities. He was treated successfully by both pharmacological treatment and surgical intervention. To our knowledge, there are only four cases published in the literature involving as a causative organism of septic arthritis affecting immunocompetent patients.
脓毒性关节炎，也称为感染性关节炎，是由多种病原体引起的关节炎症，如细菌、真菌、分枝杆菌、病毒或/和其他病原体；然而，一些机会性病原体往往影响免疫功能低下的患者，很少感染免疫功能正常的患者。例如， 是一种对骨骼和软组织具有特殊嗜性的机会性病原体，很少在免疫功能正常的人类中引起感染。我们报告一例 导致一名34岁男性患脓毒性关节炎的病例，该男性身体健康，既往无手术史或任何其他合并症。通过药物治疗和手术干预，他得到了成功治疗。据我们所知，文献中仅发表了4例涉及 作为导致免疫功能正常患者患脓毒性关节炎的病原体的病例。
