This is a report of 3 cases in which a primary infection in a site other than a total hip led to infection in the hip itself. One hip infection appeared to arise in a tooth abscess, a second in the urinary tract, and one from the respiratory tract. All infections resulted in the necessity of removing the components of the total hip. It is suggested that patients who have had previous total hip replacement should be warned to consult their physician when the possibility of an infection is present, and that antibiotic coverage be given during this period of time. Cultures of infected sites should be made in patients who have had total hip replacements, in order that organisms and their sensitivity may be identified in the event that antibiotic therapy is needed, subsequently.
这是一份关于3例病例的报告，其中全髋关节以外部位的原发性感染导致了髋关节本身的感染。一例髋关节感染似乎源于牙脓肿，另一例源于泌尿道，还有一例源于呼吸道。所有感染都导致了必须移除全髋关节的组件。建议曾接受过全髋关节置换术的患者，当存在感染可能性时应被告知咨询其医生，并在此期间给予抗生素预防。对于接受过全髋关节置换术的患者，应进行感染部位的培养，以便在随后需要抗生素治疗时能够鉴定出病原体及其敏感性。
