Abstract
|
|
|
|
Candida infection of knee joint is very rare. Diagnosis of Candida infection is difficult due to lack of obvious clinical symptoms. Candida albicans is the most common strain in Candida infection of knee joint, but Candida pelliculosa has been rarely reported. We report a case of Candida pelliculosa infection of knee after intra-articular steroid injection, which was treated successfully by repeated arthroscopic debridement and irrigations and arthroscopic implantation with antifungal agent-impregnated cement bead spacer.
