Article Abstract
An 83-year-old Japanese tatami craftsman with underlying diabetes mellites who complained of severe pain and feeling of warmth in his right knee, with mild chills. Fluid accumulation was seen in his prepatellar bursa and was detected in his synovial fluid culture, confirming the diagnosis of prepatellar septic bursitis.
