Abstract:
Septic arthritis of the hip is rarely caused by Mycoplasma hominis. It rarely develops in a patient during the postpartum period. However, delayed treatment of septic arthritis of the hip may lead to serious sequelae; therefore, it is important for clinicians not to overlook patients with the disease. This case illustrates the clinical steps in diagnosis and treatment of M. hominis septic arthritis of the hip.
