  • Title: Scedosporium prolificans: an uncommon cause of septic arthritis.
    Author: Dalton PA, Munckhof WJ, Walters DW.
    Journal: ANZ J Surg; 2006 Jul; 76(7):661-3. PubMed ID: 16813638.
    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.
