Abstract
Infection of joint implants after arthroplasty is a serious complication in orthopaedic surgery.1 These infections are usually caused by bacteria, which sometimes are difficult to eradicate and may cause the implant to loosen, requiring revision surgery.1 Brucellosis infection represents an important public health problem in many countries around the world.2 Until now, only seventeen cases of knee joint arthroplasty due to Brucella have been described in the English language medical literature.
