A 71‐year‐old man admitted at the hospital, underwent to primary right hip arthroplasty. Patient received antibiotic post-op prophylaxis with cefazolin. At discharge, none sign of local inflammation or infection was evident. After 20 days from discharge, patient was admitted back to the hospital for the presence of secretion of the wound. Samples for wound bacterial culture were collected, and the patient was empirically treated with amikacin  and teicoplanin. Elevated serum C reactive protein (PCR) 131 mg/L (normal value,
