We present a case of Aspergillus septic hip arthritis in an immunocompetent patient with undiagnosed recurrent pulmonary aspergillosis who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Biopsy specimens of synovium revealed fungal hyphae, confirming Aspergillus infection. Aspergillus septic hip arthritis can occur in immunocompetent patients, and arthroscopy can be a noninvasive surgical option in these cases.
我们报告一例免疫功能正常但患有未确诊复发性肺曲霉病的患者发生曲霉性化脓性髋关节炎,并接受了关节镜手术。滑膜活检标本显示有真菌菌丝,证实为曲霉感染。曲霉性化脓性髋关节炎可发生于免疫功能正常的患者,在这些病例中关节镜检查可以作为一种非侵入性的手术选择。
