Description
An account of the resource
Fungal infections of total joint arthroplasty are uncommon complications, and most cases have been associated with Candida species. In this article, we present a case in which a total hip arthroplasty was infected with Rhodotorula minuta. Intraoperative gram stain showed yeast formsand led to early detection and immediate treatment with amphotericin B and bacitracin. Successful reimplantation was performed 12 months later. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of arthroplasty infection caused by R minuta.
