    Mirnik, Nino, zdravnik ; Mihalič, Rene ; Trebše, Rihard
    Background: Listeria monocytogenes causes bacteraemia in elderly and immunocompromised patients and rarely also in immunocompetent patients. In sporadic setting it can be challenging to diagnose. We ... present the first case of Listeria monocytogenes infection presenting as an acute infection of a prosthetic joint in an immunocompetent patient. Case summary: An immunocompetent patient presented with acute onset of right hip pain lasting for 3 days. The day before admission the patient had fever of 38.5°C and chills. The patient admitted having eaten raw meat some days prior to onset of symptoms. He had a prosthetic right hip implanted due to secondary arthritis 9 months prior to onset of hip symptoms. He was treated successfully with removal of mobile parts and appropriate antibiotic treatment. Conclusion: Sporadic focal infections with Listeria monocytogenes occur rarely and are often not diagnosed until the arrival of final culture results. Dietary history is also important when clinical history of patients is taken. Food consumption advice is important in immunocompromised, but also immunocompetent patients can get infected when eating raw food. Accurate diagnosis for orthopaedic samples is crucial. In order to successfully treat patients with a prosthetic joint infection, a tight collaboration between several specialists is needed.
