Özet

We describe a case of septic arthritis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an immunocompetent patient following intra-articular ozone injection into the knee. To the best of our knowledge, and after considering the current literature, we believe this case is unique as no other reports of septic arthritis caused by P aeruginosa following intra-articular ozone injection has been made.
