    Abstract:
    Joint prostheses are increasingly used in our current practice. Infection is one of the most dreaded complications; it is most often due to germs of the skin flora. Listeria monocytogenes rarely causes this infection. We here report the case of a patient with hip prosthesis infected by this germ. Favorable outcome was obtained by antibiotic therapy and single-stage prosthesis replacement. Le recours aux prothèses articulaires est de plus en plus fréquent dans notre pratique courante. Une des complications les plus redoutées est l’infection, le plus souvent due à des germes de la flore cutanée. Listeria monocytogenes étant rarement à l’origine d’une telle infection, nous rapportons le cas d’un patient porteur d’une prothèse de hanche infectée par ce germe: l’évolution a été favorable après antibiothérapie et changement de prothèse en un seul temps.
