Abstract
A 60-year-old man in good health with no history of intravenous drug abuse was hospitalized for sternoclavicular joint pain and swelling. His complicated course required extensive debridement of the sternoclavicular joint. An insidious course, negative blood culture and requirement for surgery is common in infections of this joint.
