| Abstrakt: |
We describe 10 cases of pyogenic sacroiliitis occurring in a rural population. Seven were male and 3 were female with a mean age of 22.4 years. None was a recent intravenous drug abuser. Five patients had a history of recent pelvic trauma. 99mTechnetium scintiscans revealed increased sacroiliac (SI) joint uptake in 8 of 8 cases. Blood cultures were positive in 60% of patients. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 7 cases from blood and/or SI aspirates and Hemophilus influenzae type B in one case. Nine of 10 patients recovered completely. One underwent arthrodesis for recurrent SI pain without evidence of relapse of infection. Median followup was 18 months. |
