CARVAJAL-FLECHAS, Francisco; SARMIENTO-MONROY, Juan Camilo; ROJAS-VILLARRAGA, Adriana  and  MANTILLA-HERNANDEZ, Rubén-Darío. Septic sacroiliitis in the late postpartum due to Escherichia cóli. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.2, pp.131-136. ISSN 0121-8123.

Septic sacroiliitis is an unusual condition, and due to its non-specific symptoms, the diagnosis is often delayed. It should be suspected in cases in which inflammatory back pain and systemic inflammatory signs co-exist, especially in people with risk factors, such as postpartum. The case is presented of a woman, who in the late postpartum, presented with sacroiliitis and severe sepsis due to Escherichia coli. This is the second report of a case of septic sacroiliitis due to E. coli associated with pregnancy.

Keywords : Sacroiliitis; Septic arthritis; Sacroiliac joint; Postpartum period; Escherichia coli.
