Abstract
We present a case of septic arthritis of the knee in an 18-day-old female patient diagnosed by ultrasound. The final diagnosis of SA of the left knee was confirmed by a microbiology examination, which found Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The patient was treated with arthroscopic drainage and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
