Abstract

We report an unusual case of septic arthritis in a 4-year-old child caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. In spite of aggressive parenteral antibiotic therapy with ampicillin-sulbactam after surgical drainage, disease recurred, requiring additional arthrotomies. The infection was eventually eradicated with parenteral meropenem and clindamycin, and additional surgical drainage.
