Prosthetic knee Candida parapsilosis infection

The Journal of Arthroplasty
M WadaS Imura

Abstract

We report a 77-year-old man who developed Candida parapsilosis infection following total knee arthroplasty. Knee joint effusion was noted 2 weeks after surgery, and repeated cultures of aspirated fluid established the diagnosis of Candida parapsilosis infection 4 weeks after surgery. Treatment consisted of debridement and lavage of the involved joint together with continuous irrigation with fluconazole for 4 weeks, followed by oral fluconazole for another 6 months. At 3 years follow-up, the patient was doing well and radiological examination of the affected knee showed a firm attachment of the prosthesis. We suggest that early identification of the causative organism followed by continuous irrigation and use of appropriate antifungal medication may prevent joint instability and spares the removal of the prosthesis.
