Sternoclavicular Septic Arthritis Caused by in a Child.

Septic arthritis can be a devastating condition that leads to further morbidity and potential mortality if not identified early in its course.

We present a case of an eight-year-old female who initially presented with the chief complaint of chest pain and was subsequently diagnosed with septic arthritis of the left sternoclavicular joint in the emergency department.
