Infectious / Septic Arthritis - Causes - Symptoms - Treatment Options
Information on the cause, symptoms and treatment of infectious arthritis. Infectious arthritis can be caused caused by an infection or by bacteria. Viruses and fungi can also be a cause. Lyme Disease is a form of infectious arthritis caused by a deer tick.
Infectious Arthritis - Know the Warning Signs
Infectious arthritis is caused by a germ that travels through the body to a joint. The germ can be a bacterium, virus, or fungus. The germ can enter the body though the skin, nose, throat, ears, or through an open wound. Most often, infectious arthritis develops after an existing infection anywhere in the body travels through the bloodstream to a joint.

Fungal arthritis - Mycotic arthritis
Fungal arthritis is an inflammation of a joint caused by infection by a fungus. Fungal or mycotic arthritis is a very rare condition and may be caused by any of the invasive fungi. These organisms may affect bone or joint tissue. One or more joints may be affected, with the large weight-bearing joints, especially the knee, most commonly affected.

Fifth disease
Fifth disease is a viral illness with mild symptoms and a blotchy rash. The rash begins on the cheeks and spreads to the arms and legs. Fifth disease is caused by human parvovirus B19. It often affects preschoolers or school-age children during the spring.

Tuberculous arthritis
Tuberculous arthritis is an infection of the joints caused by tuberculosis. The joints most frequently involved are the spine, hips, knees, wrists, and ankles. Most cases involve just one joint. Tuberculosis involving the spine is often referred to as Pott's disease. The hunchback of Notre Dame had a gibbous deformity (humpback) thought to have been caused by tuberculosis.

Viral arthritis
Viral arthritis is inflammation of the joints that results from a viral infection. The duration is usually short, and it usually disappears on its own without any lasting effects. Symptoms include joint pain and joint swelling of one or more joints. In general, the arthritis is mild. However, there is no known way to prevent viral arthritis.

Bacteria, Viruses Can Cause Infectious Arthritis
With infectious arthritis, a bacterium, virus or other infection directly invades the joint and causes pus to form there, from Healthlink - Medical College of Wisconsin.

Nongonococcal Infectious Arthritis
Nongonococcal infectious arthritis is an acute or subacute illness with potentially significant morbidity and mortality. Bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi can cause the disease. Both healthy and individuals with predisposing conditions can be infected. It typically is a monoarticular disease, but, in approximately 10% of patients, it affects multiple joints, from eMedicine.
