Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query.
Well your problem description seems like septic arthritis or simply osteoarthritis of shoulder considering age of the patient . Just let us know since when the fluid has accumulated in shoulder following infection . If it was there earlier then infection then probably its not related to infection . Any other query please ask.
Take care.
