The patient was administered abatacept, an antirheumatic biological agent, as the synovial fluid culture was negative. Destruction of the joint progressed despite medication, and the patient underwent arthroscopic synovectomy. MRSA was detected in the culture of the synovium that was collected intraoperatively, and septic arthritis was diagnosed. The infection subsided with anti-MRSA antibiotics, but the patient continued to experience moderate pain and limited motion. In RA patients, it might be difficult to differentiate minor findings from infection. Arthroscopic synovectomy is one of the selectable procedures that should be actively considered when infection is suspected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mrcr\/rxac048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T19:32:44Z","timestamp":1654025564000},"page":"24-27","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A
