ABSTRACT

The synovial cavity is not as previously believed a sterile medium, but rather a site accessible to microbes, either directly during recurrent episodes of bacteremia or by transport within lymphoid cells or monocytes. The prevalence of these infections explains the presence of bacterial constituents in synovial samples from patients with osteoarthritis and healthy volunteers. Such intraarticular microbes may then be eliminated, or may trigger a sterile inflammatory reaction, or provoke a slow synovial infection, depending on the characteristic of the host and different factors controlling the synovial micro-environment.
