Scedosporium prolificans: an uncommon cause of septic arthritis.

Philip A Dalton1, Wendy J Munckhof, David W Walters.   

Abstract

Septic arthritis due to fungal infection is uncommon, but when it does occur it can have a devastating effect. Scedosporium prolificans is an emerging fungal pathogen that appears to have a predilection for bone and cartilaginous surfaces. This fungus is resistant to most commonly prescribed antifungal agents. We report the successful treatment of Scedosporium prolificans septic arthritis with a combination of surgery and new antifungal agents.
