Abstract

AbstractSeptic arthritis is an uncommon manifestation of factitious illness. We report 2 patients who developed septic arthritis of the knee after repeated self‐administered intraarticular injections. Multiple unusual infective agents were isolated. These cases illustrate malingering and Munchausen syndrome, 2 examples from the spectrum of factitious disease syndromes.
