Transmissible arthritis in a man from guinea

Medecine et Sante Tropicales, Volume 29, No. 3, Year 2019

We report the case of a 32-year-old man with septic arthritis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae tenosynovitis, diagnosed after joint fluid culture treated with ceftriaxone. It is one of the most frequent causes of purulent septic arthritis in young people in undeveloped countries. Early diagnosis is important to avoid complications.
