It will be considered haematogenous when the clinical picture is acute and/or it develops in the setting of bacteremia or concomitant to other distant infection.
- •2\. Diagnosis of staphylococcal etiology: Staphylococcus sp must be isolated from reliable samples, such as blood cultures or purulent exudate obtained during surgery or by arthrocentesis.
