There has been an increasing incidence of fungal infections in recent years. Rarely joints are also affected by fungal infections. Mainly, these infections develop in prosthetic joints, but sometimes native joints are also involved. Candida infections are mostly reported, but patients may also develop infections secondary to non-Candida fungi, especially Aspergillus. Diagnosis and management of these infections is challenging and may involve multiple surgical interventions and prolonged antifungal therapy. Despite this, these infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. This review described the clinical features, risk factors, and therapeutic interventions required to manage fungal arthritis.
