Septic arthritis is considered a surgical emergency. Diagnosis and prompt drainage is required to avoid continued joint damage, which can result in early onset arthritis. Septic arthritis typically occurs related to adjacent osteomyelitis (infection of the bone).
Septic arthritis is an infection in the joint (synovial) fluid and joint tissues. Different types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi can infect a joint. Symptoms include fever, joint pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. Quick treatment with antibiotics is needed to halt the risk of joint damage.

Main codes: The two main MRSA ICD-10 codes are A49. 02 and B95. 62. One of these two codes is usually listed first when a patient is treated for an MRSA infection.
Arthritis caused by bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, viruses, fungi, or parasites; bacterial arthritis is frequently caused by staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, borrelia, and neisseria gonorrhoeae; viral arthritis is less common than bacterial arthritis and may be a manifestation of such viral diseases as mumps, rubella, hepatitis, etc.
It is inflammation of a joint in reaction to an infection somewhere else in your body. The joint is usually the knee, ankle, or toe. The infection that causes reactive arthritis is often in the bladder, urethra (urine tube), or for women, in the vagina.

Codes from M00.00 to M00.09 – Caused by Staphylococcus
Polyarthritis – Arthritis of 5 or more joints is coded as polyarthritis instead of coding each joint arthritis.
Arthritis is the inflammation of one or many joints which causes common symptoms like stiffness and pain and these get worse when getting older. Treatment can help reducing symptoms, but arthritis cannot be cured totally. Most type of Arthritis can lasts for many years or can be there life long.
There are several different types of arthritis depending on the causal organism (Gonococcal, Pneumococcal, Streptococcal etc.), Infectious, Juvenile, due to some other disease and many other. Common types of arthritis found in medical records are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Primary Osteoarthritis – Wear and tear of the joint due to age.
Unspecified site – When not mentioned the anatomical site.
Note : “Arthritis_degenerative” also leads to OA
