Abstract

We present a case of septic arthritis of the hip caused by Candida albicans in a 24-year-old woman. This is the first report of a Candida infection of the hip in a patient without any predisposing factors. She underwent a two-stage total hip arthroplasty three years after the onset of the infection. An elevated plasma level of β-D-glucan suggested Candida as the infecting organism and the diagnosis might have been made earlier if this test had been undertaken at presentation.

Correspondence should be sent to Dr K. Kawanabe.
