    A rare case of Candida albicans sepsis and fungal coxitis in a patient with agranulocytosis was successfully treated. Combined antifungal therapy led to recovery and allowed for prosthetic joint replacement.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Drug-induced agranulocytosis can predispose patients to severe infections.
    • Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen causing sepsis and deep-seated infections.

    Observation:

    • A 41-year-old female presented with sepsis and bilateral fungal coxitis following agranulocytosis and treatment with antibiotics and steroids.
    • The patient experienced severe inflammation affecting both hip joints.

    Findings:

    • Combined treatment with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine effectively eradicated the Candida albicans infection.
    • Successful management of the fungal infection was crucial for patient recovery.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients.
