The sudden onset of intense joint pain, joint swelling and a low-grade fever are symptoms of septic arthritis. This condition develops when bacteria, such as streptococcus or staphylococcus, spreads through the bloodstream to a joint. A joint can become infected with bacteria during surgery or by an injury. The most commonly affected joints are the knees and hips.
