“…This may be a reflection of the rising incidence of gram-negative septicaemia in the USA over recent decades [11]. Certainly other European studies of bacterial arthritis suggest a lower rate of gram-negative bacil lary infection than is reported by American workers [12,15,16,18]. The objective mea surement of outcome in infectious arthritis is difficult; retrospective quantification by re cording the occurrence of complications, re currences, duration of immobility and bed occupancy provides a useful collective indi cation of the severity of infection and re sponse to treatment.…”

The clinical and microbiological features of bacterial arthritis in 21 elderly patients presenting to hospitals in an English health district over the decade 1973–1982 are reviewed. Differences from bacterial arthritis in younger patients include the high prevalence (71 %) of underlying joint disease, infections more commonly affecting the hip (38%), absence of constitutional features of toxaemia and delay in diagnosis. Outcome in elderly patients is markedly worse, with an appreciable mortality attributable to the condition.
