ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Se presenta un caso de artritis séptica de rodilla por Pseudomonas stutzeri, bacilo gramnegativo aerobio ampliamente distribuido en la naturaleza y que rara vez ocasiona infecciones graves en el ser humano. Se trata de una mujer de 84 arios, hemodializada, que desarrolla una artritis séptica de rodilla derecha tras una inflitración con ácido hialurónico y que evoluciona favorablemente tras terapia antibiótica. Se debe tener en cuenta esta etiología cuando hay antecedentes de invasión local de la articulación y en estados de inmunosupresión tal y como sucede en nuestra paciente.


A B S T R A C T A case is presented of septic knee arthritis caused by Pseudomonas stutzeri, which is an aerobic gram-negative bacillus widely distributed in nature and rarely causes serious infections in humans. The patient is an 84-year-old woman on haemodialysis, who developed a septic arthritis of the right knee after a hyaluronic acid injection. There was a favourable outcome after antibiotic therapy. This aetiology should be taken into account when there is a history of local invasion of the joint and in states of immunosuppression, as occurred in this patient.
