چکیده

We report 2 cases of implant infection with Staphylococcus aureus associated with dermatitis. In both cases, the skin at the surgical site was normal and full antiseptic measures were taken.

Dermatitis at sites remote from the operative site may be a contributing factor in implant infection.
