Articular aspergillosis: case report
Abstract
We present an unusual case of osteomyelitis of the tibia and septic arthritis of the knee caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in a renal transplant recipient. Although the characteristic joint involvement was present, the synovial fluid was initially sterile and contained numerous pyrophosphate crystals.
