摘要
A rare case of Candida infection after revision total knee arthroplasty that was created medically, without amphotericin B or resection arthroplasty, is reported. This case occurred in an elderly patient without predisposing medical problems. The patient was treated with only a suppressive dose of ketoconazole. The patient was last evaluated 6 years after the revision surgery and had no problem or signs of infection. Factors contributing to successful medical treatment in this case were likely the routine debridement at revision surgery and the patient's intact immune system.
