AI Article Synopsis
- * The infection mainly presents with musculoskeletal issues, often leading to septic arthritis in joints like the sacroiliac, hip, or knee; it was identified in a patient through culture of synovial fluid.
- * Effective treatment involves a combination of gentamycin, doxycycline, and rifampin, and healthcare providers should be alert for brucellosis in individuals with chronic arthritis from endemic areas for timely diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that is widely spread across the world. It is becoming more common in Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the Mediterranean region. Despite this, we need to remain vigilant as it is still prevalent in many parts of the world. The most common presentation is musculoskeletal, but it can also present as septic arthritis in the sacroiliac, hip, or knee joints. Brucella melitensis was only found in one extended culture of synovial fluid. Treatment involved a combination of antimicrobial therapy using gentamycin, doxycycline, and rifampin. A high level of suspicion for brucellosis is necessary for any patient coming from an endemic region with non-specific and chronic arthritis to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. In this case, we present a 28-year-old male who was diagnosed with Brucellosis after developing acute septic arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic autoimmune disease. Many studies have shown that microorganisms may be an important pathological factor leading to the onset of RA. Some infectious or non-infectious pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites may be the initiating factors of the early onset of RA.

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) septic arthritis is a rare frequently misdiagnosed condition with non-specific symptoms. We present our experience of thirteen cases of TMJ septic arthritis and perform a systematic review of the literature to collate the multiple characteristics of this condition.
Material And Method: A total of 133 cases of TMJ septic arthritis in humans across 62 studies were analyzed by searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, DOAJ and ClinicalTrials.

Adventitious bursitis is an inflammatory condition affecting bursae. Distinct from primary or infectious bursitis, adventitious bursitis typically develops secondary to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or repetitive joint overuse. The resulting inflammation can lead to pain, swelling, and restricted mobility, significantly impacting patients' quality of life.

[F]FDG PET/TC is an emerging tool in the evaluation of inflammatory arthropathies, characterised by their insidious course and clinical overlap. It allows detection of subclinical inflammation, assessment of systemic involvement and quantification of metabolic parameters useful in early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. In rheumatoid arthritis, it correlates with clinical indices (Disease Activity Score), serological markers (CRP, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies) and ultrasound findings, and facilitates the identification of complications such as cardiovascular and pulmonary involvement.
