We report a rare case of bilateral septic arthritis of the wrists in a 101-year-old woman who recovered without complications.Conclusion:This case illustrates the necessity of monitoring pain in other joints in cases of monoarticular septic arthritis to rule out polyarticular involvement to prevent long-term complications, morbidity, and mortality.
