“…Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are among the most devastating complication following TJAs, with important repercussions on quality of life, mental health, as well as economic burden on health care system [3,4]. It represents one of the main complications following TJAs with incidence rates of 1-3%.…”

Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are gaining growing attention as a health-care issue. Salmonella spp. is a rare cause of PJI, mostly involving hip-arthroplasty rather than knee arthroplasty. Therefore, indications for the best management of PJI involving knee-arthroplasties caused by Salmonella spp. are not clear. We report a case of knee-PJI caused by group D Salmonella, successfully treated with a two-stage revision surgery and appropriate antibiotic therapy, based on antimicrobial susceptibility of the cultural isolate. Such challenging cases evidence that clinical success is achievable through appropriate medical and surgical management, combined with a strong collaboration between orthopedics and infectious disease specialists.

Total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) are increasing among the population; as a possible complication, prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are gaining growing attention. While most common pathogens involved in PJI are Gram-positive bacteria, Salmonella spp. is a rare cause of PJI. Moreover, most cases of reported PJI caused by Salmonella spp. involve hip-arthroplasty rather than knee arthroplasty. For these reasons, indications for the best surgical and medical management of PJI involving knee-arthroplasties caused by Salmonella spp. are not clear. We report a case of knee-PJI caused by group D Salmonella in a 68-year-old woman from Romania, who was successfully treated with a two-stage revision surgery. Based on antimicrobial susceptibility of the cultural isolate, antibiotic therapy was administered between the two surgical stages and 4 weeks post-operatively. The patient was initially treated with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 160mg/800mg per os tid; due to adverse effects, antimicrobial therapy was switched, after 15 days of treatment, to ertapenem 1g/day. At one year post-operatively, no sign or symptoms of relapse of the PJI were identified. The report of such rare but challenging cases shows that clinical success is achievable through appropriate medical and surgical management, which should be based on a strong collaboration between orthopedics and infectious disease specialists.
