摘要

Introduction/Background: Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection that is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients. Case Presentation: 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. Conclusion: This study discusses the clinical presentation in this patient and reviews the literature on the currently published cases.
