| Summary: | Septic arthritis is encountered very rarely during the neonatal period and its diagnosis can delay because of atypical symptoms, thus it
may lead to serious sequelae. The sequale can be prevented by early diagnosis and concomitant treatment. In neonates, pain can be
experienced as a result of pseudoparalysis and of movement of the effected joints. A 17-day-old neonatal patient was brought to our
hospital with complaint of unrest and then diagnosed with septic arthritis due to propagation of Klebsiella pneumoniae in joint fluid culture
was represented because of the rarity of such a case. |
