Why do gonococcal infections result in septic arthritis of the knee?

Septic arthritis of the knee due to gonococcal infection occurs as a complication of disseminated gonococcal infection, facilitated by hematogenous spread of the bacterium to the synovial spaces, where intense immune-mediated inflammation develops. No direct evidence was found explaining the predisposition of the knee joint to this condition.

Abstract

Septic arthritis of the knee due to gonococcal infection occurs as a complication of disseminated gonococcal infection, facilitated by hematogenous spread of the bacterium to the synovial spaces, where intense immune-mediated inflammation develops. No direct evidence was found explaining the predisposition of the knee joint to this condition.
