A deep infection following a prosthetic joint replacement is a serious complication with an incidence ranging from 1 to 2% of patients undergoing total prosthetic surgery. The common invading organisms are staphylococci, streptococci and gram negative bacillus. A candida infection after a prosthetic joint replacement is very rare, and a diagnosis is difficult because of the indolent nature of the clinical symptoms and signs as well as its rarity. We report a case of candida infection after a TKA, which was treated successfully by a staged reimplantation.
