“…In septic arthritis, the synovial fluid can be turbid, with purulent or hemorrhagic aspect, and may present altered viscosity. The liquid shows increased inflammatory cell counts and protein concentration (Haerdi-Landerer et al 2010). Early diagnosis of the causative agent is necessary, because many animals evolve rapidly to chronic and debilitating lesions, and the animal may not support its weight on the affected limb.…”

“…Treatment focuses on the use of antimicrobial drugs and articular drainage, and aims at the elimination of the causative agent, and removal of cell debris and fibrin from the join, which may damage the articular cartilage (Haerdi--Landerer et al 2010). Microbial culture, associated with the in vitro susceptibility tests, increases therapy efficiency (Morton 2005, Taylor et al 2010.…”

“…Prognosis is better when one joint is involved only (14). Despite intensive treatment, the prognosis is guarded for septic arthritis and return to full activity range from 27% to 81% (8,22,23). In the present study, returning to full activity rate was 71.9%, and twenty-three calves with poylarthritis were slaughtered due to unresponsiveness to medical treatment.…”

“…Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, radiography, ultrasound and bacterial cultures (5)(6)(7). Clinical findings include swollen and painful joints, lameness, fever and anorexia (8). The earliest radiographic finding of the arthritis is joint enlargement, which can be seen in 5-10 days.…”

Septic arthritis is defined as inflammation of a joint caused by various microorganisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment characteristics of septic arthritis encountered in 82 calves. Fifty-eight cases were monoarthritis, and 24 cases were polyarthritis. Omphalitis was detected in 17 calves. Dorsal, medial and lateral thermograms of joints revealed hot points (n=82). In ultrasonographic examination, inflammatory effusions with different echogenity were seen. Widening of joint space (n=35) and new bone formation (n=42) were detected by radiography. Arcanobacterium pyogenes and Escherichia coli (83%) were commonly founded microorganisms. Medical treatment was successful in total of 59 calves (71.9%), 1 calf with polyarthritis and 58 calves with monoarthritis. Twenty-three calves were slaughtered because no clinical improvement was observed till the 14 day of treatment.Keywords: Calves, Septic arthritis, Thermography, Treatment. Septik Artritisli Yeni Doğan Buzağılarda Radyografik, Ultrasonografik ve Termografik Bulgular: 82 olgu (2006-2013)Öz: Septik arthritis birçok mikroorganizmanın neden olduğu bir eklem yangısıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı 82 buzağıda karşılaşılan septik artritisin tanı ve sağaltımını değerlendirmektir. Elli-sekiz olguda monoartritis, 24 olguda ise poliartritis görüldü. Omfalitis 17 buzağıda belirlendi. Alınan termogramlar ile eklemlerin dorsal, medial ve lateral yüzlerindeki sıcak noktalar (n=82) belirlendi. Ultrasonografik muayenede farklı ekojenitede yangısel effüzyonlar görüldü. Radyografide, eklem aralığının genişlemesi (n=35) ve yeni kemik formasyonları (n=42) belirlendi. Değerlendirilen eklemlerden en sık Arcanobacterium pyogenes ve Escherichia coli (83%) izole edildi. Medikal sağaltım, monoartritisli 58 buzağı ve poliartritisli 1 buzağı olmak üzere toplan 59 buzağıda (71.9%) başarılı oldu. Yirmi-üç buzağıda, sağaltımın 14. güne kadar klinik bir ilerleme olmadığından, bu olgular kesime sevk edildi.
