Abstract

Abstract:: Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection that is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients. This case report describes an immunocompetent patient who had a right total hip arthroplasty (THA) complicated with Coccidioidomycosis. This patient is the 9th reported case of Coccidioidomycosis, causing a PJI and only the second case to be reported in a THA. Once progressed, it can be difficult to treat, often reoccurring and requiring repeat surgical and prolonged therapy. This study discusses the clinical presentation in this patient and reviews the literature on the currently published cases.
