Abstract
The increasing number of implantations will lead to more periprosthetic infections. Periprosthetic infections in patients with rheumatism, who are often undergoing immunosuppressive treatment, represent a challenge for the treating physicians. The optimal care and treatment therefore necessitate an interdisciplinary agreement between orthopedic surgeons, specialists for infections and rheumatologists.Entities:
