Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although Aspergillus species are ubiquitous in the environment and exposure to their spores is a daily occurrence, Aspergillus infections are rare and occur primarily in immunocompromised hosts1). Septic arthritis by invasive aspergillosis is relatively rare; most cases are associated with compromised host defenses1). We present the case of Aspergillus septic arthritis of the hip in an immunocompetent adult patient with undiagnosed recurrent pulmonary aspergillosis, and describe the outcome of hip arthroscopy and its intraoperative findings.
