Resumen (ES)
We report a case of septic arthritis of the knee
caused by Pantoea agglomerans, that gained access into
the joint by a puncture with a vegetal body. This gram ve
bacillus has been occasionally linked to cases of septic
arthritis, but never in our country up to date and to our knowledge.
We think that arthritis related to punctures with plants
and labelled as aseptic, mask in fact septic processes. As
in any pyogenic arthritis, adequate drainage of joint fluid
(through arthroscopy in this case) and antimicrobial therapy
must be used together; this approach allowed the healing of
our patient.
