A Case Of Recurrent Helicobacter cinaedi Prosthetic Joint Infection In An HIV-Infected Man

Abstract: We describe the case of an HIV-infected man who developed twice a Helicobacter cinaedi prosthetic joint infection. In our knowledge, it is the first case to date. Furthermore, it illustrates the fact that this bacterium is difficult to isolate and that recurrences can occur even after apparently successful treatment.

“…Data on association between non- H. pylori Helicobacter species and extraintestinal diseases come from studies on extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,476 477 Parkinson’s disease,478 colorectal cancer479 and many other clinical entities, but solid associative evidence is lacking. Few case reports showed that H. cinaedi infections occur more often in immunocompromised patients 480–482. In addition, cases of bacteraemia of non- H. pylori Helicobacter species have been reported 483 484.…”

“…Indeed, the clinical courses and outcomes, such as complications and need for surgical treatments, in-hospital days, and mortality, were not aggravated in the present study. On the contrary, immunocompromised patients, especially those with recent chemotherapy, were likely admitted at the first visit to the ED in the present study, and previous studies also pointed out that those patients are at risk for recurrence [8,9,[22][23][24][25][26][27].…”
