With infectious arthrtitis, symptoms include joint pain to the touch or with movement, as well as swelling and stiffness. The skin around the joint may be red and puffy. If the infection spreads beyond the joint, a fever or other symptoms may accompany it (although fever can occur for other reasons). Some forms of infectious arthritis hit hard and fast, so it’s important that you see your doctor immediately if you have any symptoms. If left untreated, infectious arthritis may seriously damage joints within just a few days or weeks.
