TL;DR
A man developed septic arthritis caused by Candida dubliniensis after meniscus surgery, marking the first reported case of this rare fungal infection.
Contribution
This is the first documented case of septic arthritis caused by Candida dubliniensis.
Findings
Candida dubliniensis was isolated from a joint lavage following arthroscopic surgery.
The case highlights a rare fungal cause of septic arthritis in an immunocompetent individual.
Abstract
A 37-year-old immunocompetent man was admitted to the emergency department due to recurrent pain and oedema of his right knee. Two months earlier, he had undergone surgery to repair his meniscus. Arthroscopic joint lavage was performed and Candida dubliniensis was recovered in culture. The authors describe the first case of septic arthritis caused by Candida dubliniensis.
