A 48-year old woman complaining of fatigue and lower back pain since several days, presented at the emergency department with anomic aphasia and fever. The conventional radiograph of the knees revealed mild erosive changes in the left medial compartment with effusion and hand radiographs were unremarkable in the painful right hand but showed some joint space narrowing in the left IP-1 joint, whereas the chest radiograph, CT brain were unremarkable. Blood cultures demonstrated a Staphylococcus aureus sepsis.
