Describe a rare presentation of Pasteurella multocida prosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty and evaluate reported cases in the literature since 1992.
Documented the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a 67-year-old immunocompetent female with a total hip arthroplasty infection.
Conducted a comprehensive literature review of published prosthetic joint infections caused by P. multocida since 1992.
The infection resolved successfully after surgical hip washout, pseudo-tumor removal, and a course of intravenous antibiotics.
Literature synthesis demonstrates that P. multocida remains an uncommon but increasingly recognized pathogen in prosthetic joint infections, typically acquired from domestic pet contact.
