摘 要：Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiaeis an established animal pathogen while the zoonotic infections in humans are rarely reported. Infections occur after exposure to animals or animal products that are mostly occupational in adults. Here we report in a child for the first time septic arthritis and osteomyelitis without an identifiable risk factor. A 5-year-old male child was admitted with pain in the left hip joint and inability to bear weight on the limb. Clinical examination followed by radiological and magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of septic *** rhusiopathiaegrew from peroperative joint specimen. The infection was resolved following arthrotomy, joint lavage and antibiotic therapy.
