台大醫院骨科於1975年到1985年間共治療過78例感染性關節炎,所有的病例均經由血液培養,膿液培養或者病理切片診斷。我們的治療包括關節切開引流及充份的抗生素治療。論文中除了討論結核生關節炎與化膿性關節炎的差異性外,也針對目前氾濫的類固醇藥物關節注射是否為感染性關節炎的誘因做一分析。
Seventy-eight patients with septic arthritis treated in National Taiwan University Hospital from 1975 to 1985 were reviewed. All of the cases were diagnosed by blood culture, pus culture or surgical biopsy. Nearly all cases were treated by arthrotomy and antibiotics. The differences between tuberculous infections and pyogenic infections were discussed. The risk factors of intraarticular steroid injection were also emphasized.
