Three cases of septic osteo-arthritis were seen occuring in patients on dialysis treatment. The sites of involvement included lumbar spine, knee joint, ribs and wrist. The culture of the same microorganisms simultaneously from the arterovenous prothesis, blood and synovial fluid supports the hypothesis that the osteo-arthritis was the result of hematogenous spread of bacteria from the infected focus. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent severe bone and joint damage.
在接受透析治疗的患者中出现了3例感染性骨关节炎病例。受累部位包括腰椎、膝关节、肋骨和腕关节。同时从动静脉假体、血液和滑液中培养出相同的微生物，这支持了骨关节炎是细菌从感染灶经血行播散所致的假说。早期诊断和治疗可预防严重的骨和关节损伤。
