Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection of the hip due to Salmonella sp. is rare. It is sometimes difficult to treat and needed a prolonged antibiotic treatment. We reported a case of periprosthetic joint infection of the hip in a 67 years old female who received prior left total hip arthroplasty. Two-stage revision surgery with antibiotic-loaded cement spacer has been performed to the patient and successfully control the infection. Review of the literatures also has been done. Salmonella Sp. has to be considered as one of differential etiology in the case of infected arthroplasty especially in an immunosuppressed patient. It showed still there has been no consensus in the treatment of choice for this particular case.
