In the absence of positive bursal fluid, the diagnosis came from typical clinical presentation, exclusion of other causes of bursitis and favourable response to antibiotic therapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We included 272 patients (median age of 53\u2009years, 85.3% male and 22.8% with at least one comorbidity). A microorganism was identified in 184 patients (67.6%), from bursal fluids in all but 4. We identified staphylococci in 135 samples (73.4%), streptococci in 35 (19%) and 10 (5.5%) were polymicrobial, while 43\/223 bursal samples remained sterile (19.3%). Forty-nine patients (18%) were managed without bursal fluid analysis. Antibiotic treatment was initially administered IV in 41% and this route was preferred in case of fever (P\u2009=\u20090.003) or extensive cellulitis (P\u2009=\u20090.002). Seventy-one (26%) patients were treated surgically. A low failure rate was observed (n\u2009=\u200916\/272, 5.9%) and failures were more frequent when the antibiotic therapy lasted &amp;lt;14\u2009days (P\u2009=\u20090.02) in both surgically and medically treated patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite variable treatments, SB resolved in the majority of cases even when the treatment was exclusively medical. The success rate was equivalent in the non-surgical and the surgical management groups. However, a treatment duration of &amp;lt;14\u2009days may require special attention in both groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkab265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T19:16:40Z","timestamp":1625685400000},"page":"3029-3032","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Clinical characteristics and management of olecranon and prepatellar septic bursitis in a multicentre study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Laurie","family":"Charret","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France"},{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHD Vend\u00e9e, La Roche-Sur-Yon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00e9raldine","family":"Bart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHU Rennes, Rennes, France"},{"name":"Centre de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en infections ost\u00e9oarticulaires complexes du Grand Ouest (CRIOGO), CHU de Rennes, 35043, Rennes cedex, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Hoppe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHU Angers, Angers, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuelle","family":"Dernis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CH Le Mans, Le Mans, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gr\u00e9goire","family":"Cormier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHD Vend\u00e9e, La Roche-Sur-Yon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Boutoille","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en infections ost\u00e9oarticulaires complexes du Grand Ouest (CRIOGO), CHU de Rennes, 35043, Rennes cedex, France"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France"},{"name":"Centre d'Investigation Clinique, Unit\u00e9 d'Investigation Clinique 1413 INSERM, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benoit","family":"Le Goff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1871-0073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christelle","family":"Darrieutort-Laffite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021101808540527100_dkab265-B1","first-page":"607","article-title":"Olecranon and prepatellar bursitis.
