We present a 68-year-old diabetic man with a periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) by Cryptococcus magnus. The fungus was identified 4 weeks after a revision surgery for a chronic bacterial PSI. Treatment was successful with a 2-week course of intravenous liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg) followed by 6 weeks of fluconazole (200 mg/d).
To the best of our knowledge, only 2 periprosthetic infections due to Cryptococcus neoformans have been previously reported. This is the first report of cryptococcal involvement of a prosthetic shoulder, and the first identified osteoarticular infection ever by C. magnus.
我们报告了一例 68 岁糖尿病男性患者,其患有新型隐球菌引起的假体肩感染(PSI)。真菌在慢性细菌性 PSI 翻修手术后 4 周被鉴定出来。治疗采用 2 周静脉注射两性霉素 B 脂质体(5 mg/kg),随后 6 周氟康唑(200 mg/d),治疗成功。
据我们所知,之前仅报道过 2 例因新型隐球菌引起的假体感染。这是首例报道的假体肩部新型隐球菌感染,也是首次发现由大隐球菌引起的骨关节炎感染。
