Abstract: Periprosthetic fungal infection was a catastrophic complication after artificial joint replacement, and its diagnosis and treatment had always been one of the hot research topics in the field of orthopedics. A case of a 66-year-old immunocompetent man who underwent total knee arthroplasty and infected with Candida glabrata six years later with signs of prosthetic infection were reported. The pathogenic diagnosis and anti-fungal therapy might provide a reference for the drug treatment of periprosthetic fungal infection after artificial joint replacement.

Key words: total knee arthroplasty, periprosthetic fungal infection, Candida glabrata, anti-fungal therapy
