ABIM Rheumatology sample question

See how an exam-style question and its explanation appear in the Exam Edge practice environment.

You are a rheumatologist seeing a 62-year-old man with diabetes in the outpatient clinic for a swollen, tender olecranon bursa present for 48 hours. He has fever 38.2°C, overlying erythema, and limited elbow flexion from pain. WBC 13.5 K/μL, ESR 45 mm/hr. No known history of gout or trauma. What is the most appropriate next action in management? (Drag-and-drop ordering interface: rank choices from most to least appropriate.)





Correct Answer:
Aspirate the bursal fluid for Gram stain, cell count, and culture before initiating therapy.

why rrect: in a patient with acute onset olecranon bursitis plus fever, erythema, elevated white count, and diabetes, septic bursitis is a high concern. aspiration of the bursa provides diagnostic information: fluid gram stain and culture identify bacterial pathogens, and cell count differentiates septic from inflammatory or crystal-mediated bursitis. performing aspiration before antibiotics maximizes diagnostic yield and guides targeted therapy. stepwise approach: 1) aseptically aspirate fluid for gram stain, culture, and crystal analysis; 2) if gram stain or clinical severity suggests infection, start empiric antibiotics covering staphylococcus aureus (including mrsa risk depending on local prevalence) and adjust based on culture; 3) consider imaging only if aspiration or exam suggests deeper infection or concern for osteomyelitis; 4) use drainage and serial aspiration or surgical drainage if purulent, loculated, or not responding to medical therapy.

why the other answers are incorrect: b: starting empiric antibiotics without aspiration sacrifices important diagnostic information and may lead to inappropriate therapy; aspiration should precede antibiotics when feasible. c: plain radiographs have limited sensitivity for acute septic bursitis; they are appropriate later if concern for underlying osteomyelitis, chronic changes, or foreign body, but are not the immediate next step. d: high-dose nsaids and observation are appropriate for noninfectious inflammatory bursitis but are unsafe if septic bursitis is possible in a febrile, diabetic patient because delaying aspiration and antibiotics risks progression of infection.
