A member asked:
Can penicillin challenge test (intradermal - positive) cause transient synovitis of the hip? 4 days after test, 5 yr old has diagnosis of synovitis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: focal synovitis of the hip at that age is usually caused by a kid jumping down heal first on that leg from some height. They are fine for a while But the event causes the fluid accumulation which lasts a day or two before resolving. The kid then resumes normal movement. I cannot see where the test would trigger such a focal process.
