Abstract

 Fungal prosthetic joint infections are rare; with Candida albicans being the most frequently reported pathogen in English literature. Immunocompromised state, as well as extensive use of the newer triazole, fluconazole to suppress fungal infections has lead to an increase in fungaemia due to albicans and non-albicans candida. Here, we report a case of disseminated Candida krusei, in an immunocompromised patient with total hip replacement one month prior following fracture neck of left femur. Patient was deemed infection free following prosthetic joint removal, thorough debridement and antifungal therapy.

Key words: Candida krusei, Prosthetic Joint Infections, fungaemia , Biofilm
