A case of Nocardia asteroides infection of a hip prosthesis in a nonimmunocompromised patient is presented. The infection developed soon after the operation, and did not respond to empiric treatment by multiple antimicrobial drugs. Reoperation and removal of the prosthesis was necessary. The authors found no previous cases of nocardiosis complicating arthroplasty reported in the literature.
本文报告了一例非免疫功能低下患者髋假体发生星形诺卡菌感染的病例。感染在手术后不久即出现，对多种抗菌药物的经验性治疗无反应。有必要再次手术并取出假体。作者未在文献中发现先前有关诺卡菌病并发关节成形术的病例报道。
