Abstract

We describe a rare case of a Candida albicans PJI (prosthetic joint infection) in an otherwise healthy woman treated with a two-stage revision and directed antifungal therapy. One year after the final surgery, the patient is doing well with a good clinical and functional result. This type of diagnosis is difficult and often miss interpreted needing a high level of clinical suspicion for its proper management.
