Abstract
Two cases of anaerobic, pyogenic arthritis complicating rheumatoid disease due to bacteroides are described. The relative well-being of the patients and indolence of the affected joints are emphasised, and the effective role of metronidazole in the treatment of septic arthritis due to bacteroides is discussed.
