First case of Lyme arthritis involving a prosthetic knee joint

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States. Arthritis is usually a mani-festation of late disease but has not been associated with cases of periprosthetic joint infections. We report on a patient who was first diagnosed with periprosthetic joint infection and subsequently Lyme arthritis.
