Pathoma says that gonococcal arthritis is #1 cause, followed by staph aureus. Would you go about infectious arthritis the same way you would go about osteomyelitis? Basically, split it up by age group so that:
1. adolescents by definition have gonococcal arthritis of the knee
2. Kids and adults will by definition have staph aureus
3. infants would have haemophilus and group B strep
4. Sickle cell will have salmonella
Just asking b/c I havent encountered too many practice questions on it, and First aid is really vague (p. 426). Thanks friends.
