    Journal: Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc; 2010 Jul; 18(7):908-10. PubMed ID: 20119673.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 63-year-old female patient who underwent a total knee arthroplasty in which the knee later became infected with Brucella melitensis. Diagnosis was made by positive culture of a sinus tract discharge. Radiological views of the knee did not show signs of implant loosening. The patient was successfully treated with rifampicin and doxycycline without surgery.
