A 20 y/o female complains of right and left knee pain and swelling. She has associated fever, limited ROM, erythema, and tenderness of the knees. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Septic arthritis
B. Osteoarthritis
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Gouty arthritis
A. Septic arthritis
Rationale: The patient’s presentation of bilateral knee pain and swelling with associated fever, limited range of motion (ROM), erythema, and tenderness is highly suggestive of septic arthritis, a joint infection that causes inflammation, pain, and systemic symptoms such as fever. The rapid onset of symptoms and systemic signs help distinguish septic arthritis from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout, which typically have a more chronic or specific presentation.
A 20 y/o female complains of right and left knee pain and swelling. She has associated fever, limited ROM, erythema, and tenderness of the knees.
What test will be the most accurate to diagnose the patient?
A. X-ray of both knees APL
B. Both knee joints aspirate with GS/CS
C. MRI of both knees
D. CT scan of both knees
B. Both knee joints aspirate with GS/CS
Rationale: The most accurate test for diagnosing septic arthritis is a joint aspirate with Gram stain and culture sensitivity (GS/CS), as it allows direct identification of the infectious organism causing the joint infection. Imaging tests like X-ray, MRI, or CT scan may show changes in the joint but are not diagnostic for infection and do not provide information about the causative pathogen.
A 20 y/o female complains of right and left knee pain and swelling. She has associated fever, limited ROM, erythema, and tenderness of the knees.
What will be the initial management?
A. IV antibiotics
B. Joint aspirate
C. Arthrotomy
D. A and B
E. All of the above
D. A and B (IV antibiotics and joint aspirate)
Rationale: The initial management for septic arthritis includes joint aspiration to confirm the diagnosis and identify the causative organism, along with starting IV antibiotics as soon as the diagnosis is suspected. Early antibiotic treatment is crucial to prevent joint destruction and systemic spread of infection. Arthrotomy (surgical drainage) may be needed if the condition does not respond to initial management.
A 20 y/o female complains of right and left knee pain and swelling. She has associated fever, limited ROM, erythema, and tenderness of the knees.
If the patient after 3 days did not show signs of improvement, what would be the appropriate management?
A. Change IV antibiotics
B. Joint aspirate
C. Arthrotomy
D. A and B
E. All of the above
E. All of the above
Rationale: If the patient does not improve after 3 days of treatment, changing the IV antibiotics based on culture results is necessary, and repeating a joint aspiration may be warranted to assess the joint space and ensure the infection is being adequately treated. If conservative measures fail, arthrotomy (surgical drainage) should be considered to remove infected material and alleviate pressure. All of these steps would be appropriate for a patient not responding to initial treatment.
