Abstract EN
Scedosporium prolificans, also known as Scedosporium inflatum, is a fungus widespread in soil, sewage, and manure.
This species is highly virulent and is an emerging opportunistic pathogen found in penetrating injuries in immunocompromised patients.
Here we report on an immunocompetent patient with bilateral hip S.
prolificans-associated osteomyelitis and septic arthritis caused by intentional penetrating trauma.
The condition was refractory to initial antimicrobial suppression and surgical irrigation and debridement.
Successful outcome was achieved after incorporating a bilateral two-stage total-hip-arthroplasty with Voriconazole-loaded cement and spacer.
