Abstract
One case of deep sepsis from Mycobacterium tuberculosis occurring two years after total hip replacement is reported. The patient had no history of previous tuberculous infection nor showed any sign of systemic disease at the time of surgery. The clinical and pathogenic implications are discussed. Es wird über den Fall eines tiefen Infektes mit Mycobacterium tuberculosis 2 Jahre nach künstlichem Hüftgelenkersatz berichtet. Bei dem 61-jährigen Patienten war weder in der Vorgeschichte eine Tuberkulose bekannt noch ließen sich zum Zeitpunkt der Endoprothesen-Implantation Zeichen einer systemischen Erkrankung feststellen. Es werden die klinischen und pathogenetischen Folgerungen diskutiert.Keywords
