Septic arthritis caused by Candida dubliniensis following arthroscopic surgery.

A 37-year-old immunocompetent man was admitted to the emergency department due to recurrent pain and oedema of his right knee. Two months earlier, he had undergone surgery to repair his meniscus. Arthroscopic joint lavage was performed and Candida dubliniensis was recovered in culture. The authors describe the first case of septic arthritis caused by Candida dubliniensis.
