Pasteurella multocida From a Cat Scratch as a Cause of Recurrent Prosthetic Joint Infection After Previously Successful Single-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty.
Arthroplasty Today 2024 June
We report a case of a 74-year-old female with a history of a prosthetic joint infection that was successfully treated with a single-stage exchange arthroplasty, off antibiotics, and without symptoms for 20 months. She presented 1 week after a cat scratch with acute knee pain, and aspiration grew Pasteurella multocida . She was successfully treated with surgical debridement and a prolonged course of antibiotics. Debate remains in the literature regarding whether recurrent infections represent a previously undetected organism or a new infection. Our report provides convincing evidence that, at least in some circumstances, the infection is new. Furthermore, this is the first case described of P. multocida resulting in a recurrent prosthetic joint infection after a previously successful exchange arthroplasty due to a different causative organism.
