カンジダ膝関節炎の2例

抄録

Candida arthritis is rare. But recently, it has been seen increasingly because of prolonged antibiotic treatment and intra-articular steroid therapy. We reported two cases (64 and 63 years old women) of knee arthritis by Candida, both of which had undergone intra-articular therapy. In one of them, Candida parapsilosis was cultured from the synovial fluid and synovium specimen. Candida organisms were identified in the synovium by PAS and Grocoot staining. Synovectomy and Amphotericin B treatment were administered.
