Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 04/22/09
Johannsson B et al. - An 84-year-old man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with progressive left groin pain and fever. There was radiographic evidence of prosthesis loosening, and an aspirate of the left hip joint grew C. neoformans. The patient was treated with amphotericin B with good initial symptomatic response. The patient elected not to undergo revision arthroplasty, and oral suppressive therapy with fluconazole was initiated. After 10 months of fluconazole therapy, the prosthesis was removed secondary to pain and increased instability of the implant.
