  • Title: Musculoskeletal fungal infections.
    Author: Corr PD.
    Journal: Semin Musculoskelet Radiol; 2011 Nov; 15(5):506-10. PubMed ID: 22081285.
    Abstract:
    Fungal infections of the musculoskeletal system are uncommon. They are often found in immunosuppressed or patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or in patients with a history of travel to an endemic region. Infections often present with multifocal chronic osteomyelitis or chronic mono- or polyarthritis resembling osteoarticular tuberculosis. A clinical clue to the correct diagnosis is the presence of overlying skin sinuses. Radiologists can suggest the correct diagnosis with a good clinical history, although a biopsy and/or fungal culture is usually necessary before beginning treatment.
