[Candida coxitis (author's transl)].

Following drug-induced agranulocytosis and antibiotic and steroid treatment, sepsis due to candida albicans together with bilateral fungal coxitis developed in a 41-year-old female patient. Satisfactory eradication of the inflammatory process was achieved with combined treatment with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine, so that mobilisation was possible after surgical fitting of bilateral total endoprothesis.
