{Abstract}: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by anaerobic, Gram-positive bacilli is rare. We present here a case of an 83-year-old female patient who was admitted to our tertiary referral arthroplasty center to treat a complex PJI of her right hip joint after multiple failed surgeries. External and intraoperative cultures reveald growth of Eggerthella lenta (E. lenta). Microbiological identification was fast but in a very few samples. A successful management, comprising of radical debridement with one-stage exchange and an antibiotic treatment with multiple antibiotics, has been achieved at 24-month follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided the first case study of a hip PJI caused by E. lenta successfully treated with one-stage exchange and an adequate antibiotic treatment.
