Reactive Arthritis Due to Subcutaneous Abscess: A Possible Correlation?
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Reactive arthritis is the specific entity of aseptic inflammatory arthritis and follows the previous infection in other parts of the body. The association of soft tissue infections with this disease is rare. A 63-year-old male patient after blunt trauma to the left knee progressively evolved with inflammatory signals and loss of joint function, followed by additive polyarthritis of large joints.
