What They Found
They found a rare instance of subtalar joint septic arthritis in a 33-year-old male patient with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia, complicated by a Mycoplasma hominis infection. This case highlighted an unusual presentation of septic arthritis in a patient with primary immunodeficiency, a condition not commonly associated with this joint infection.
