Özet
We present a case of Abiotrophia defectiva in a prosthetic knee infection following total knee replacement for the first time. A 69-year-old female was prediagnosed with prosthetic knee infection, and a two-stage revision arthroplasty was applied. A. defectiva was cultured by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) from the synovial fluid aspirates. Penicillin G and gentamicin had been administered. One year postoperatively, a scintigraphy showed no recurrence. A. defectiva may be missed in culture negative patients with knee or hip arthroplasty. They should be carefully evaluated if they have undergone recent dental procedures.
