Fungal arthritis is usually of haematogenous origin, and mainly affects patients with impaired cellular immunity or users of intravenous drugs. The infection in immunocompetent patients is generally caused by direct inoculation of the microorganism through an invasive device. The experience of azole therapy in these patients is limited.
We report a case of arthritis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum characterized by its slow onset, lack of response to posaconazole and caspofungin, and its successful resolution after surgical debridement and treatment with voriconazole.
Treatment with voriconazole and surgical debridement is an effective therapy for arthritis due to S. apiospermum.
真菌性关节炎通常血行播散而来,主要影响细胞免疫受损患者或静脉药物使用者。免疫功能正常患者的感染一般由微生物通过侵入性装置直接接种所致。这些患者使用唑类疗法的经验有限。
我们报告1例由尖端赛多孢菌引起的关节炎病例,其特点为起病缓慢,对泊沙康唑和卡泊芬净无反应,经手术清创及伏立康唑治疗后成功缓解。
伏立康唑治疗联合手术清创是治疗尖端赛多孢菌所致关节炎的有效方法。
