Beyond typical bursitis features, patients present with redness, warmth, fever, and possible discharge. Septic bursitis requires a more aggressive treatment approach than non-infectious forms.
Management involves antibiotic therapy initiated promptly on an empiric basis, with subsequent adjustments guided by bacterial culture results. The complete regimen, including selection criteria, sequencing, and monitoring parameters, is detailed in the full protocol.
