Anaerobes are less frequently described as causative pathogen of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). We report the first case of early PJI after hip arthroplasty due to Clostridium difficile in a diabetic and HIV-1 infected patient with bacteremia. Our patient was successfully treated through surgical debridement and prosthesis retention combined with targeted antibiotic therapy.
厌氧菌作为人工关节感染(PJI)的致病病原体的报道较少。我们报告了首例糖尿病合并 HIV-1 感染合并菌血症的患者髋关节置换术后早期由艰难梭菌引起的 PJI。我们的患者通过手术清创和保留假体并联合靶向抗生素治疗成功治愈。
