title: Urinary infections in total hip arthroplasty. Influences of prophylactic cephalosporins and catheterization.
abstract: We studied 359 patients retrospectively and 100 patients prospectively, all on cephalosporin prophylaxis. Urinary infections were eight times more frequent in catheterized patients; most were caused by Pseudomonas and Enterobacter. One patients had acute seeding in the arthroplasty site from a Pseudomonas urinary infection.
