    AbstractAlthough sacroiliitis is not uncommon in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), bacterial infection of the sacroiliac joint is rare. The diagnosis is often delayed because of low clinical suspicion, a vague clinical picture and poorly defined localization of symptoms. We report a case of pyogenic sacroiliitis in a patient with Crohn's disease caused by Clostridia spp. and discuss key clinical components and protocol for the successful evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon illness.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
