Abstract

In this case of arthritis, due to micrococcus catarrhalis, the clinical picture was that of gonorrhoeal arthritis. Organisms aspirated on two occasions from the joint and those found in a cervical smear were identical with the gonococcus morphologically, but cultural methods showed them to be micrococcus catarrhalis. Treatment resulted in complete restoration of function.
