Abstract
A known pediatric hemophiliac was evaluated for what was thought to be a hemarthrosis of the knee. When the patient failed to respond to conventional treatment, the joint was aspirated and found to be septic. Septic arthritis is a rare complication of hemophilia and requires prompt recognition and treatment.Entities:
