The diagnosis was made by molecular microbiology techniques (bacterial identification by sequencing the 16S rRNA). This case was managed with prosthetic replacement in two times and systemic antibiotic therapy.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Prosthesis,Arthritis,Chronic,Knee,Tropheryma Whippelii</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://jmedicalcasereports.org/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=9610&title=Right Knee Chronic Prosthetic Arthritis Due to Tropheryma whippelii: A Case Report</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>Cremniter J, Bauer T, Lortat-Jacob A, Vodovar D, Le Parc JM, Emile JF, Franc B, Sebbag P, Gaillard JL, Heym B.
