A 66-year-old man presented with an infected resurfacing hip replacement in the immediate post-operative period following an uneventful transurethral resection of the prostate. Prophylactic antibiotics had been administered on induction of anaesthesia. The hip prosthesis had been inserted seven years previously and had been hitherto asymptomatic. The hip was washed out and microbiological examination identified Enterococcus faecalis as the infecting micro-organism. Despite current recommendations, clinicians undertaking invasive procedures which can lead to bacteraemia in patients with prosthetic joint replacements should be aware of the risk of haematogenous seeding in such prostheses, which although low, has potentially disastrous consequences.
