Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic pathogen that occasionally causes indolent disease in the immunocompetent. Cryptococcal arthritis is especially rare, and diagnosis is typically delayed. Fungal arthritis should be considered in cases of chronic, indolent joint inflammation. To our knowledge, this report documents the first use of fluconazole for treatment of cryptococcal infection confined to a joint.
新型隐球菌是一种机会致病菌，偶尔会在免疫功能正常者中引起隐匿性疾病。隐球菌性关节炎尤为罕见，诊断通常会延迟。对于慢性、隐匿性关节炎症病例，应考虑真菌性关节炎。据我们所知，本报告记录了首次使用氟康唑治疗局限于关节的隐球菌感染。
