Streptococcus pneumoniae septic arthritis complicating hip osteonecrosis in adults: case report and review of the literature

A 42-year-old patient presented acutely with bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia along with metastatic pneumococcal infection of the hip joint. Diagnostic evaluation revealed evidence of a pre-existing bilateral hip osteonecrosis. The osteonecrotic changes were attributed to chronic alcohol abuse and/or an old motor vehicle accident.
