Abstract
Haemophilus influenzae is rarely described as a causative agent of prosthetic joint infections. Here, a case of prosthetic hip joint infection caused by H. influenzae is reported. Treatment was successful, resulting in implant salvage, by debridement and antibiotic treatment with ciprofloxacin as monotherapy for 3 months.
