This case study discusses how we diagnosed and treated a patient with a late haematogenous bilateral periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasties caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum. This has never been reported before. We will discuss how we used a PET-CT, synovial fluid cell count, and synovial fluid analysis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to diagnose this PJI. We will also discuss how we treated this patient to obtain full recovery.
