Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Septic sacroiliitis during postpartum period can be a diagnostic challenge, especially because the symptoms are usually nonspecific. A 28 year old lady presented to the orthopaedic department with complaints of left gluteal pain radiating to her lower back. She was in her third week of postpartum and had 1 episode of fever during this period. On magnetic resonance imaging she was found to have left sacroiliitis. Further investigations revealed brucella as the etiological agent. She was treated with triple regimen antibiotics and analgesics; following which she improved.
