A case of tuberculosis developing in a hip joint which had undergone total prosthetic replacement arthroplasty 7 years previously is described. The patient had no manifestation of active systemic tuberculosis although calcified mesenteric nodes were noted on abdominal X-ray. It is assumed that hip joint infection occurred during a bacteraemia following activation of a latent tuberculous focus in the mesenteric lymph nodes.
本文描述了一例在7年前接受全髋关节置换术的髋关节发生结核病的病例。尽管腹部X光检查发现肠系膜淋巴结钙化，但患者并无活动性全身结核病的表现。据推测，髋关节感染发生在肠系膜淋巴结中潜伏结核病灶激活后的菌血症期间。
