Septic arthritis is the inflammation of the synovial membrane and synovial fluid in the joints with bacterial, viral, or fungal agents. It is most commonly spread by hematogenous way. In cases that are not treated, it can cause permanent and serious disabilities. The most common factor in all age groups was “Staphylococcus aureus”. We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis after septic arthritis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, resulting in hip disarticulation.
