Infection related arthropathies
International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01
A disease of the joints, caused by an infection with a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic source. Distinction is made between the following types of etiological relationship. a) direct infection of joint, where organisms invade synovial tissue and microbial antigen is present in the joint; b) indirect infection, which may be of two types: a reactive arthropathy, where microbial infection of the body is established but neither organisms nor antigens can be identified in the joint, and a postinfective arthropathy, where microbial antigen is present but recovery of an organism is inconstant and evidence of local multiplication is lacking.
