Pyogenic infection of the sacro-iliac joint. A report of 11 cases

MD Shanahan and CE Ackroyd

We report 11 patients who, over a five-year period, were treated for pyogenic infection of the sacro-iliac joint. This condition is uncommon and difficult to assess, so that diagnosis is liable to be delayed and morbidity increased. Skeletal scintigraphy, with perfusion phase imaging, is usually positive in early lesions and prompt antibiotic treatment reduces complications.
