[Purulent arthritis after blockade treatment].
Injections of local anaesthetics with or without steroids are widespread in the treatment of muscular pain. Occasionally, however, they are followed by serious bacterial infections. Three cases of septic arthritis, one localised to the hip, one to the knee and one to the sacroiliac joint are presented. One should offer great consideration to the possible complications following injections into or near joints.
