David, John; Nasser, Rana M; Goldberg, Jerry W; Reed, Kurt D; Earll, Mark DKnee
We present the first documented case of a bilateral prosthetic knee joint infection with Campylobacter fetus. Our patient’s risk factors included age, the presence of prosthetic joints, and potential exposure through his contact with farm animals. It is important to be aware of the possibility of C fetus joint infections in high-risk patients who present with pain after total joint arthroplasty.
