Abstract
We reviewed the records of 1,156 patients treated for acute staphylococcal osteitis or septic arthritis over a 12-year period; 38 had been critically ill with evidence of multiple-organ involvement and 30 (79%) had features of the toxic shock syndrome. The mortality rate of these 38 patients was 13% and the long-term orthopaedic complication rate was 39%. The diagnosis and management of patients with osteitis or septic arthritis, disseminated staphylococcal disease, and the toxic shock syndrome is discussed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
