Abstract

This case describes a 77-year-old woman with dysregulated type II diabetes, presenting with a prosthetic joint infection and bacteremia. Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis and sacrum revealed manifest periprosthetic collections, suggestive of a septic arthritis with loosening of the hip prosthesis. Synovial fluid grew Fannyhessea vaginae, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a prosthetic joint infection due to this organism.
