SERNAQUE MECHATO, Roger Antonio et al. Sacroiliac Arthromyelitis: Case report. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.4, pp.158-162.  Epub 30-Nov-2023. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i4.6110.

Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare condition that is sometimes diagnosed late due to the poor specificity of the symptoms. In addition, imaging techniques such as scintigraphy, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance are required to assess the extent and severity of the lesions. If early diagnosis and treatment are made, the clinical evolution is satisfactory and leaves no sequelae.
