Candida albicans prosthetic joint infection after total knee arthroplasty: A rare case report

In this article, a 75‑year‑old patient with pain in left knee and restricted range of motion following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is presented. Serological evaluation and aspiration of knee joint suggested a fungal prosthetic joint infection. After the diagnosis was confirmed, treatment started with antifungal drugs, removing prosthesis, exhaustive debridement, and revision of TKA after efficient antifungal treatment. At one‑year follow‑up, she has a painless motion range of 10 to 90 degrees, and there was no recurrence of infection observed.
