Abstract

Hyphal aspergillus fungi, which are widespread in nature, usually cause lung infections in immunosuppressed patients. Musculoskeletal involvement of these fungi is not well defined. Joint infection due to aspergillus species is called invasive aspergillosis. This systemic infection is associated with high mortality and morbidity. In this article, we report a case of septic arthritis due to aspergillus in the knee joint in a young non-immunosuppressed patient, which is very rare in the literature.
