Septic arthritis due to Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is extremely rare and most infections due to this organism are seen in immunocompromised patients. We describe a patient without immunological compromise, with a late total knee arthroplasty infection caused by LM treated with one-stage revision surgery. She had an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (79 mm/h) and C-reactive protein (13 mg/dL). Aspiration of the knee joint yielded purulent fluid; cultures showed LM. The patient was given 6 weeks of intravenous ampicillin, followed by trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and finally amoxicillin orally for 7 months. Two years after revision surgery, radiographs showed no evidence of implant loosening. This is a single case and although one-stage approach seemed to have worked, it should not be recommended on the basis of a single report.
