Abstract:
The authors report a case of candidal arthritis and osteomyelitis in a five-month-old child. Parenteral nutrition with central catheter, broad-spectrum antibiotherapy, repeated gastrointestinal surgery are the main risk factors. The prognosis for this bone and joint infection is favourable. Using 5-fluorocytosine alone is not recommended because of rapid gain of resistant various pathogenic fungi and the risk of therapeutic failure.
