ABSTRACT
Candida parapsilosis was not considered pathogenic, until it had been reported as the cause of the fatal case of infective endocarditis in intravenous narcotic addicts in 1940. More recently this species has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen in many clinical infections, such as fungemia, endocarditis, endophthalmitis, septic arthritis, and peritonitis. Among them C. parapsilosis arthritis is still very rare, which is mainly caused by invasive procedures such as prosthetic arthroplasty, intraarticular steroid injection and contamination of hyperalimentation solutions. We experienced a 53 year-old male patient who had chronic elbow pain and was diagnosed as the first case of C. parapsilosis arthritis in Korea. Herein we report the case with a review of the literature.
