The clinical features may be different from those associated with older children, resulting in diagnostic challenges. Delay in instituting treatment, especially in neonates could be associated with severe dysfunction and deformity in a significant number of affected children. Therefore, treatment should be prompt and comprise broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage, and general supportive care. The index patient is a 3-week-old neonate who had left hip arthrotomy on account of septic arthritis. The aim of this report is to highlight the challenges encountered in the diagnosis of septic arthritis of the hip in this patient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njcp.njcp_261_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]],"date-time":"2022-11-23T01:26:28Z","timestamp":1669166788000},"page":"1936-1938","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diagnostic challenges in the management of septic arthritis of the neonatal hip"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"CO","family":"Anisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"IE","family":"Abang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"OG","family":"Osakwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JE","family":"Asuquo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-23-20240907","first-page":"505","article-title":"Osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in children","volume":"71","author":"De Boeck","year":"2005","journal-title":"Acta Orthop Belg"},{"key":"R2-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"436","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e31824657dd","article-title":"Management of osteoarticular infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus is similar to that of other etiologies: Analysis of 199 staphylococcal bone and joint infections","volume":"31","author":"P\u00e4\u00e4kk\u00f6nen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pediatr Infect Dis J"},{"key":"R3-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"632","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-21-10-632","article-title":"Septic arthritis of the neonatal hip: Acute management and late reconstruction","volume":"21","author":"Samora","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg"},{"key":"R4-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2006.07.016","article-title":"Acute osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and discitis: Differences between neonates and older children","volume":"60","author":"Offiah","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur J Radiol"},{"key":"R5-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1016\/j.berh.2011.02.001","article-title":"Septic arthritis","volume":"25","author":"Garcia-Arias","year":"2011","journal-title":"Best Pract Res Clin Rheumatol"},{"key":"R6-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e5682","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000005682","article-title":"Delayed treatment of septic arthritis in the neonate","volume":"95","author":"Li","year":"2016","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore"},{"key":"R7-23-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"915","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-5898(20)30954-8","article-title":"Antibiotic management of acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in children","volume":"6","author":"Rhodes","year":"1975","journal-title":"Orthop Clin North Am"},{"key":"R9-23-20240907","first-page":"69","article-title":"Outcome of management of non-gonococcal septic arthritis at National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria","volume":"19","author":"Eyichukwu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Niger J Med"}],"container-title":["Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njcp.njcp_261_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T15:16:52Z","timestamp":1787757412000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njcp.njcp_261_22"}},"subtitle":["A case report"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,11]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/njcp.njcp_261_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["1119-3077"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1119-3077","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,11]]}}}
