BACKGROUND: @entity6592 occurs infrequently during the peripartum period. CASE: A case at our institution and a review of the literature were analyzed. A total of 15 cases were discovered. The onset of illness was during pregnancy (40% of cases), within 3 weeks postpartum (40%) or post-abortion (20%), and the presentation was usually acute (< 7 days in 67% of cases). Frequent manifestations included @entity158 in the hips or buttock, sacroiliac joint tenderness and @entity221 . Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging revealed joint involvement in all cases tested. Microbiology was confirmed by blood (40%) or joint aspirate (75%), and most @entity1 were treated with antibiotics. Surgical intervention took place in five cases. @entity3152 was reported in only one case. All @entity1 responded well to therapy without @entity717 , and persistent @entity158 was uncommon. CONCLUSION: @entity6592 should be considered in peripartum @entity1 who present with @entity221 and severe @entity158 . Medical management is usually curative, and without an adverse effect on pregnancy.
