Abstract:
Multifocal pyogenic arthritis more than four joints is very rare and considered to be related with some conditions such as immune deficiency, alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, steroid abuse, septicemia and gonococcal infection. In early stage, it is important to differentiate from acute rheumatic fever or acute rheumatic polyarthritis. Authors report a case of multifocal pyogenic arthritis on four joints simultaneously with good result.
