| Popis: | Haemophilus influenzae is serologically classified into two main categories based on the presence or absence of the polysaccharide capsule. Strains that possess polysaccharide capsules are identified as typeable Haemophilus influenzae , whereas strains that do not have capsules are identified as non-typeable Haemophilus influenza . Only on very rare occasions, Haemophilus influenzae affects adult joints, and almost 95% of cases have been identified as type b serotypes. Coexistence of gouty and septic arthritis is rare but has been reported. We herein report a case of polyarticular septic arthritis caused by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae in an adult with concomitant new-onset gouty arthritis. The case was successfully treated with surgical debridement and a 4-week course of ceftriaxone. |
