Septic sacroiliitis is an uncommon joint infection and the diagnosis is often delayed. We present the first case of a septic arthritis of the shoulder and of the sacroiliac joint in a woman affected by systemic sclerosis, and we reviewed the medical literature since 1997 to 2008 on septic sacroiliitis with a specific microbiological diagnosis other than Mycobacteria and Brucella species.Evidence shows that antibiotic therapy should be continued until full clinical and radiological resolution is achieved.

Abstract
Septic sacroiliitis is an uncommon joint infection and the diagnosis is often delayed. We present the first case of a septic arthritis of the shoulder and of the sacroiliac joint in a woman affected by systemic sclerosis, and we reviewed the medical literature since 1997 to 2008 on septic sacroiliitis with a specific microbiological diagnosis other than Mycobacteria and Brucella species.Evidence shows that antibiotic therapy should be continued until full clinical and radiological resolution is achieved.
