Fungal prosthetic joint infection is rare, and two-stage revision is usually advocated. We present our experience with 2 cases of fungal prosthetic knee joint infection presenting 25 months and 3 years after index surgery. Both patients were managed with single-stage revision arthroplasty and fluconazole monotherapy. They remain asymptomatic with good knee society score after 2 years of follow-up. Preoperative workup of all aseptic loosening cases should include extended culture for fungal elements. Single-stage revision with antifungal therapy for 3 months gives good results in nonimmunocompromised patients with good soft-tissue envelope.
真菌性人工关节感染较为罕见,通常主张进行两阶段翻修。我们介绍了2例人工膝关节真菌性感染的经验,这2例患者分别在初次手术后25个月和3年出现感染。两名患者均接受了单阶段翻修关节成形术和氟康唑单一疗法。经过2年的随访,他们均无症状,膝关节协会评分良好。所有无菌性松动病例的术前检查应包括真菌成分的延长培养。对于软组织包膜良好的非免疫受损患者,单阶段翻修并进行3个月的抗真菌治疗可取得良好效果。
