Abstract

Candida parapsilosis is a rare opportunistic fungal pathogen of the musculoskeletal region. Immune function of almost all patients is severely disturbed. Most reported cases of septic arthritis of joints by Candida involve the knee, especially Candida parapsilosis. To our knowledge, there has been only one case report of Candida parapsilosis involving the ankle presented on only plain radiography. We report a case of Candida parapsilosis arthritis involving the ankle in a diabetes patient which was shown on MR imaging.

칸디다파라프실로시스(Candida parapsilosis)는 근골격계에서는 드물게 발생하는 진균 감염으로 흔히 면역기능이 저하된 환자에게 발생한다. 그동안 보고된 증례는 무릎관절이 대부분이었고 족관절은 단 1예로 X-선 사진만 있었다. 저자들은 당뇨병환자의 족관절에서 발생한 Candida parapsilosis 감염 증례를 자기공명영상 소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
