Abstract
Abstract. A non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was responsible for an invasive infection including bacteremia, spondylodiscitis with epidural abscess, and periprosthetic hip
infection in a 79-year-old woman, triggered by a superinfected ethmo-orbital
mucocele. Surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy allowed recovery.
PET-scan full cartography of NTHi infection dissemination enabled the
discovery of spondylodiscitis. This rare cause of spondylodiscitis and
periprosthetic joint infection suggests a complete work-up is unavoidable.
