A prosthetic knee joint became infected with Candida parapsilosis, apparently introduced by arthrocentesis. The infection was quite indolent, present for several months before treatment. Although the joint fluid contained antibiotic concentrations in excess of the organism's minimum inhibitory concentration, medical therapy failed, and cure required removing the prosthesis and fusion of the knee.
一个人工膝关节被近平滑念珠菌感染，显然是由关节穿刺术引入的。感染进展相当缓慢，在治疗前已存在数月。尽管关节液中的抗生素浓度超过了该微生物的最低抑菌浓度，但药物治疗失败，治愈需要移除假体并进行膝关节融合术。
