Abstract. A non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was responsible for an invasive infection including bacteremia, spondylodiscitis with epidural abscess, and periprosthetic hip infection in a 79-year-old woman, triggered by a superinfected ethmo-orbital mucocele. Surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy allowed recovery. PET-scan full cartography of NTHi infection dissemination enabled the discovery of spondylodiscitis. This rare cause of spondylodiscitis and periprosthetic joint infection suggests a complete work-up is unavoidable.

A 76-year-old woman with a rare case of spinal epidural abscess (SEA) that had no risk factors for such type of infection, presented symptoms of back pain, progressive neurological deficit of the lower limb and loss of sphincter control. A gadolinium-enhanced MRI confirmed the diagnosis of an SEA. The patient underwent laminectomy with surgical drainage, where cultures showed the presence of Aggregatibacter aphrophilus, a bacterium of the HACEK group (Haemophilus species, Aggregatibacter species, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, and Kingella species), rarely involved in SEA. Following surgery, the patient was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone for 6 weeks, and this gave excellent results.

Periprosthetic joint infection of the hip due to Salmonella sp. is rare. It is sometimes difficult to treat and needed a prolonged antibiotic treatment. We reported a case of periprosthetic joint infection of the hip in a 67 years old female who received prior left total hip arthroplasty. Two-stage revision surgery with antibiotic-loaded cement spacer has been performed to the patient and successfully control the infection. Review of the literatures also has been done. Salmonella Sp. has to be considered as one of differential etiology in the case of infected arthroplasty especially in an immunosuppressed patient. It showed still there has been no consensus in the treatment of choice for this particular case.

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to Salmonella sp. is rare. It is sometimes difficult to treat and need prolonged antibiotic treatment. CASE REPORT: We reported a case of PJI of the hip in a 67-year-old female who received prior left total hip arthroplasty. Two-stage revision surgery with antibiotic-loaded cement spacer had been performed to the patient and successfully control the infection. CONCLUSION: Although literature review showed that there has been no consensus for the treatment of Salmonella PJI, a two-stage revision procedure has been more commonly performed to control the infection by previous authors and might be the safest way to control Salmonella PJI recently.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) can be a mild, persisting infection. Although heterotopic ossification (HO) is common following total hip arthroplasty (THA), the etiology of severe HO remains unclear. Herein, we describe a rare case of extremely severe HO after a PJI associated with a Staphylococcus caprae infection in a 78-year-old male patient. The patient had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with no diabetic complications. The patient had no previous history of hip surgery, hip injury, or systemic bacterial infection. Immediately after the initial THA, he developed intermittent low-grade fever (37°C), which persisted for 3 months; consequently, he also reported mild hip pain during walking. He experienced a gradual decrease in hip range of motion within 5 years after the surgery, with progressive gait impairment. Two revision surgeries were required for the successful treatment of this difficult case. The patient’s hip function improved, and the PJI was controlled following the second revision surgery. Based on the clinical course, CNS-caused PJI may lead to severe HO. This possibility warrants verification from an accumulated number of cases.

Introduction: A periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a potentially devastating complication following an arthroplasty procedure. There are many organisms that commonly cause this complication; in this case report, we will discuss a PJI caused by an unusual bacteria found in the mouths of domestic pets. Objective: To present a case report of a patient with a periprosthetic hip infection from Capnocytophaga canimorsus and review the literature. Methods: We present a case of C canimorsus PJI in an immunocompetent woman who had undergone a total hip arthroplasty. The patient was doing well postoperatively for many years until she was bitten on the foot by a domestic canine. Patient diagnosed using Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, then treated with explant of the hip prosthesis, irrigation and debridement, placement of an antibiotic cement spacer, and a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotics. Results: Unfortunately, while awaiting replant, this patient had a massive myocardial infarction and died. Discussion: Current literature suggests treating canine bites with amoxicillinas well as a discussion with patients pre-/postoperatively from a lower extremity arthroplasty specialist. Conclusion: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a rare cause of infection, even more unusual in an immunocompetent patient. This study highlights the importance of considering C canimorsus as a cause of PJI, regardless of the immunologic status of the patient.

AbstractPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating mode of failure following total joint arthroplasty, imposing a serious burden on the healthcare system and society at large. Increasing demand for elective arthroplasty, as well as independent predictions demonstrating future rise in the prevalence of PJI, will lead to an increasing financial burden imposed by this dreadful complication. This challenge is further compounded by disturbing trends, such as drug-resistant organisms among others as a cause of PJI. The aim of this review is to provide the latest updates in the diagnosis of PJI, with a view to identifying areas in need of further research.
