Hello,
It is my privilege to be able to help you,
As your husband had knee infection by Streptococcal infection which is followed by intestinal infection other constitutional symptoms of strep infection.
He may be having systemic bacterial infection which should be supported by the lab investigation.
He may require hospitalization. consult your Consultant Physician for detailed examination and investigation for further treatment.
Thank you
