There was a wide range of presenting features including pyoarthrosis in 7 episodes. Three cases presented with meningitis, bacterial endocarditis and probable multiple abscesses respectively. Infection was caused by Staphylococcus aureus in 7 episodes and by Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and beta-haemolytic Streptococcus in each of one episode. Three infective episodes were fatal. Pyogenic, especially staphylococcal, infection should be considered in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with unexplained illness with or without sudden deterioration in joint symptoms. It is important to recognize and treat infection rapidly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.63.735.19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T21:05:27Z","timestamp":1230584727000},"page":"19-22","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Pyogenic infection and rheumatoid arthritis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"I F","family":"Rowe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, St Stephen\u2019s Hospital , Fulham Road, London SWIO 9TH , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A C","family":"Deans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, St Stephen\u2019s Hospital , Fulham Road, London SWIO 9TH , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A C S","family":"Keat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, St Stephen\u2019s Hospital , Fulham Road, London SWIO 9TH , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1987,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"318","article-title":"Clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis","volume-title":"Copeman's Textbook of the Rheumatic Diseases","author":"Watson Buchanan, W.","year":"1978","unstructured":"Watson Buchanan, W.
