title: [Arthritis caused by Candida in an immunocompetent infant with a history of systemic candidiasis in the neonatal period].
abstract: We report the case of knee arthritis in an immunocompetent infant man, 10 month-old, caused by Candida albicans. He suffered in the past septic arthritis due to Candida albicans in the neonatal period. Initial management included treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and fluconazole at hospital discharge. Primary immunodeficiency was ruled out. Ongoing follow up during 1 year has been uneventful.
