Please tell me can food poisoning cause a bacterial infection in the hip joints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is the same...: ...organism. It is possible that an organism causing one's diarrhea or vomiting could invade the bloodstream and seed the hip joint. More likely is that inflammation from the food poisoning causes a reaction in the hip and there is actually no significant seeding or infection in the hip itself. You can see your doctor who can examine you and perform the necessary tests for an accurate diagnosis.
