Aim

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to Candida spp. is a severe complication of arthroplasty but is little reported. This study describes Candida PJI epidemiology, management, and outcome.

Method

We performed a retrospective, observational multinational study with support of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID). Patients diagnosed with PJI due to Candida spp. between 1990 and 2021 were included. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, imaging, medical/surgical treatment, and outcome data were collected within a standardized database. Treatment failure was defined either as a Candida infection recurrence, superinfection, or death due to infection.
