“…Very few cases of osteoarticular infections caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus have been described in the literature. It has been reported in prosthetic hip and knee joint infections in immunocompetent patients as well as acute tenosynovitis of the ankle in an immunosuppressed patient [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Invasive infections caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus , a Gram-negative rod found in the oral cavity of healthy dogs and cats, are rare but they are increasing worldwide. We report a case of septic arthritis in a native knee joint due to this micro-organism. A 57-year-old man, with a well-controlled chronic HIV infection, attended the Emergency Department because of left knee pain and shivering without measured fever. A knee arthrocentesis and a computed tomography scan were performed, revealing septic arthritis with collections in the left leg posterior musculature. He was admitted to the Infectious Diseases Department for antibiotic treatment. Initial synovial fluid was inoculated in blood culture bottles, and the anaerobic one was positive after 63 h. Gram stain revealed fusiform Gram-negative rods, identified as C. canimorsus by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) directly from the bottle. Identification was confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing and serotyping was performed by PCR, with serovar A as the outcome. Due to an unfavourable clinical course, the patient required two surgical cleanings and after appropriate antibiotic treatment he was discharged 2 months later.

“…Other case reports detail patients without immunocompromising factors, such as an 83-year-old male with periprosthetic knee infection successfully treated with longterm antibiotics keeping his prosthetic joint [13]. A 54year-old male presenting with a year-long right knee pain that started two years after total knee arthroplasty was successfully treated with prosthesis explantation, antibiotic spacer placement, a 4-week intravenous cefuroxime course followed by 2 weeks of oral ciprofloxacin and revision total knee arthroplasty [14]. A 66-year-old female presenting with a 4-month history of groin and hip pain, found to have a prosthetic hip joint infection, underwent a 2-stage revision right total hip arthroplasty with antibiotic spacer placement and reported a pain free hip 15 months later [12].…”

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a catalase-positive and oxidase-positive gram-negative bacillus commonly found in dog saliva that is a rare cause of infection in immunocompromised individuals. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with Waldenström macroglobulinemia treated with ibrutinib and a history of bilateral shoulder arthroplasty and bilateral knee arthroplasty who reported a 1-year history of multi-joint pain and swelling. The patient resides with two pet dogs that often scratch and bite, penetrating the skin, and on culture was found to have Capnocytophaga canimorsus.
