Abstract
in English, Spanish

Septic arthritis usually occurs as an acute joint process that can cause a rapid destruction of the cartilage, if the necessary therapeutic measures were not taken. Rarely, Staphylococcus warneri may be the cause of this pathology although due to its diagnostic difficulty we can make mistakes in its treatment. We present the case of a patient with septic arthritis of the knee by this germ and we intend to remark what are the diagnostic measures and recommendations to consider for this osteoarticular infection.

La artritis séptica suele presentarse como un proceso articular agudo que puede provocar una rápida destrucción del cartílago, si no se toman las medidas terapéuticas necesarias. De manera poco frecuente, el Staphylococcus warneri puede ser la causa de esta patología aunque por su dificultad diagnóstica podemos cometer errores en su tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con artritis séptica de rodilla por este germen y pretendemos remarcar cuáles son las medidas diagnósticas y recomendaciones a tener en cuenta para esta infección osteoarticular.
