Periprosthetic joint infection is one of the most dreaded complications of replacement arthroplasty and the incidence of periprosthetic tuberculous infections is increasing. This report presents a case of extensive periprosthetic tuberculous infections of primary total hip arthroplasty which was treated with debridement and long periods of antituberculous medication without implant removal. The patient completed 18 months of 4 drug antituberculous chemotherapy and the plain radiograph on the last review showed new bony consolidation around the prosthesis without loosening or signs of reactivation.
