“…Suppression of host immunological responses caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus2 (SARS-CoV2) infection is referred to as "immunologic collapse." Patients with COVID-19 are at a higher risk of contracting opportunistic infectious germs like S. aureus because of this disease [43].…”

The majority of documented cases of arthritis occurred between 2 and 4 weeks following the discovery of COVID positive. These cases mostly involved the minor joints of the hands. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, septic arthritis, and post-covid flares of preexisting inflammatory arthritis are all examples of post-Covid-19 arthritis. Patients with COVID-19 vaccination-related new-onset arthritis, arthralgias, joint disease flare-up, and bursitis often experience joint swelling, discomfort, stiffness, and possibly restricted range of motion. Molecular mimicry, the generation of specific autoantibodies, and the involvement of certain vaccine adjuvants are the primary processes by which the COVID-19 vaccine causes autoimmune. The purpose of this paper was to provide a summary and clarify recent developments in our understanding of arthritis after COVID-19.

This case report discusses a rare occurrence of septic arthritis in the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) following SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced immunosuppression in a 94-year-old patient. Despite its rarity, the case underscores the importance of recognizing unusual manifestations of COVID-19, emphasizing the need for healthcare providers to consider COVID-19-induced immunosuppression in differential diagnoses. Swift diagnosis, surgical intervention, and appropriate antibiotics led to a favorable outcome, highlighting the significance of a multidisciplinary approach.
