ECHEVERRI-TORO, Lina María; CASTANEDA, Laura  y  AGUDELO, Carlos Andrés. Septic arthritis due to Streptococcus equi: a case report and review of the literatura. Infect. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.4, pp.402-404. ISSN 0123-9392.  https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v23i4.815.

Human infections caused by Streptococcus equi are rare, have a wide variety of forms of presentation, including joint involvement, which has been rarely described in humans and even less in immunocompetent patients. In this article we present a septic arthritis case due to S. equi that occurred due to an occupational exposure in an immunocompetent patient, and a review of the related literature as well. The publication of this case report was accepted by the institutional ethics committee and the consent signed by the patient was obtained.

Palabras clave : Septic arthritis; S. equi; Colombia; occupational exposure; immunocompetent.
