Abstract
Despite the variety of organisms which are responsible for infecting bones and joints, the possible responses to these agents by the host is limited and hence the symptoms and signs of an infective arthritis are relatively stereotyped (Table 11.1). Where differences do occur they are differences in emphasis rather than in basic pathophysiology.
