“…The WBC count in septic bursitis is typically much lower than aspirates in septic arthritis, and it is generally agreed that a WBC count of 1000 to 20,000 is indicative of septic bursitis [ 1 , 3 – 5 , 9 , 11 , 13 ]. It is recommended that the aspirate be sent for cell count, culture, gram stain, and crystal analysis [ 17 ].…”

“…Management of septic bursitis is controversial, but antibiotic coverage is almost universally agreed upon. Unless there are underlying risk factors, first-line therapy involves either a first-generation cephalosporin (e.g., cefazolin) or a penicillinase-resistant penicillin (e.g., oxacillin) intravenously for Staphylococcal and Streptococcal coverage [ 1 , 3 – 6 , 17 ]. The duration of therapy is less agreed upon, ranging anywhere from ten days to four weeks with most recommendations closer to two weeks [ 4 , 6 , 11 , 13 ].…”

“…In addition to antibiotics, many treatment recommendations include aspiration and drainage of the affected bursa [ 4 , 11 , 13 ]. Aspiration can alleviate symptoms and reduce the bacterial burden [ 17 ]. There is some data to suggest that there is no treatment difference in drained or nondrained bursae [ 3 ].…”

Bursitis is a relatively common occurrence that may be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, or infectious processes. Septic bursitis most commonly affects the olecranon and prepatellar bursae. Staphylococcus aureus accounts for 80% of all septic bursitis, and most cases affect men and are associated with preceding trauma. We present a case of an 86-year-old female with an atypical septic bursitis involving the infrapatellar bursa. Not only are there very few reported cases of septic infrapatellar bursitis, but also this patient's case is particularly unusual in that she is a female with no preceding trauma who had Pseudomonas aeruginosa on aspirate. The case also highlights the diagnostic workup of septic bursitis through imaging modalities and aspiration. This patient had full resolution of her septic bursitis with appropriate IV antibiotics.

“…The most common etiology of olecranon bursitis is trauma and infection 173 174 . Despite its superficiality, few reports about the US appearance of the olecranon bursae have been published 175 176 . The olecranon bursa is very commonly involved in tophaceous gout 177 178 and rarely in calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease 179 .…”

The first part of the guidelines and recommendations for musculoskeletal ultrasound, produced under the auspices of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB), provides information about the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound for assessing extraarticular structures (muscles, tendons, entheses, ligaments, bones, bursae, fasciae, nerves, skin, subcutaneous tissues, and nails) and their pathologies. Clinical applications, practical points, limitations, and artifacts are described and discussed for every structure. After an extensive literature review, the recommendations have been developed according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine and GRADE criteria and the consensus level was established through a Delphi process. The document is intended to guide clinical users in their daily practice.
