Delayed-Onset Mycobacterium tuberculosis Prosthetic Joint Infection after Hip Hemiarthroplasty: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
One-third of world population are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) [1,2]. After exposure to MTB 30 % of the cases will develop latent infection, with a 5-10% lifetime risk of progression to active tuberculosis (TB) [2,3]. Extrapulmonary TB is observed in about 20% of the total cases. Although pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases have both decreased during the last years, extrapulmonary disease has increased as a proportion of the total. Among extrapulmonary cases approximately 10% represents bone and joint infections, with peripheral arthritis being responsible for 30% of osteoarticular TB [2,4,5]. Usually a single joint is involved, with the hip joint being the most common [5].

متن کاملEvolution of central nervous system multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and late relapse of cryptic prosthetic hip joint tuberculosis: complications during treatment of disseminated isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis in an immunocompromised host.
We report a case of disseminated isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis in an immunocompromised patient with evolution of rifampin (rifampicin) resistance in the central nervous system. This was cured with intraventricular and oral treatment but was followed by a late relapse of the original infection in a prosthetic hip joint. We provide drug levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum.
