Serum procalcitonin guide in a case of proteus mirabilis prosthetic joint infection
Khairil Anwar A H1, Vinodharan Nagaretnam2, Fahrudin Che-Hamzah3.
Infection is a dreaded complication in patients who have underwent arthroplasty and often very challenging to treat. It accounts for lesser than 1% of arthroplasty cases and although low in occurrence, requires appropriate investigations and management to successfully treat the condition. This case demonstrates a case of a rare microorganism with unusual antibiotic susceptibility causing a prosthetic joint infection and the use of serum procalcitonin level as guide in management of the patient.
