Eichinger JK et al. - The authors report a case of knee pyarthrosis in a 54-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and a popliteal cyst. The onset of infection coincided with a cortisone injection. Initial management consisted of arthroscopic irrigation and debridement on 2 consecutive occasions without resolution of the infection.
