Abstract
Infection is a serious complication after implantation of total knee-prostheses. However, fungal infection is rarely found in periprosthetic joints, and in most reports, the infecting organism is a Candida species. This is a case report of infection after left knee total arthroplasty caused by Malassezia species. The patient is still undergoing antifungal therapy with voriconazole and is still being followed-up. To the authors' knowledge, the present case is the first report of Malassezia species in a patient after total knee arthroplasty.Eine Infektion nach totaler Kniegelenkendoprothesenimplantation ist eine schwerwiegende Komplikation. Pilze sind eine seltene Ursache periprothetischer Gelenkinfektionen und in den meisten F?llen sind Candida spp. die Ursache. Hier wird eine Kasuistik einer Infektion mit Malassezia spp. nach totaler Endoprothesenimplantation des linken Knies beschrieben. Der Patient befindet sich noch im Follow-up unter antifungaler Therapie mit Voriconazol. Nach Kenntnis der Autoren ist das der erste Fallbericht einer derartigen Malassezia-Infektion.
