چکیده
We report a case of peri-prosthetic tuberculous infection nine years after total hip arthroplasty in a patient with no history of tuberculosis before the procedure. Further investigation revealed active pulmonary tuberculosis which was thought to have spread haematogeneously to the arthroplasty. The infection did not respond to standard antituberculous drugs. Removal of the prosthesis and insertion of an antibiotic spacer were required.
