Abstract

ECHEVERRI-TORO, Lina María; CASTANEDA, Laura  and  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.

Keywords : Septic arthritis; S. equi; Colombia; occupational exposure; immunocompetent.
