Abstract
|
|
|
|
Candidal infection has been known to cause significant morbidity and mortality in renal transplant patients. Type of immunosuppressive regimens, prolonged antibiotics therapy, metabolic derangement such as diabetes and corticosteroid use, the long-term use of indwelling urinary and intravenous catheters are important predisposing factors in the development of candidal infection. Septic arthritis caused by Candida species is relatively uncommon, occurring most frequently as a complication of disseminated candidiasis. Although several drugs are available for the treatment of Candida arthritis, intravenous amphotericin B therapy has been shown to most consistently result in successful treatment. We report herein successful outcome of treatment with amphotericin B for septic arthritis due to C. albicans after a successful second renal transplant.
