Abstract

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to Salmonella spp. is rare. We report a case of a recurrent prosthetic infection with involvement of two joints in a 72-year-old man and review the literature. The review of all cases previously reported and our case shows that conservative approach using antibiotics alone is insufficient to cure the infection. Prolonged antibiotic treatment and two-stage reconstruction with the use of joint spacer is the best choice for the treatment. Salmonella spp. should be considered as a cause of PJI, especially in patients with previous infections caused by this microorganism.
