“…Voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B have demonstrated effectiveness in PMMA elution 13 . Dosing for these therapies has been reported as 200-to 1,000-mg voriconazole per 40-mg cement or 100 to 1,500 mg of amphotericin B [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . Outcomes of fungal PJI are generally poor, and treatment strategies include permanent resection arthroplasty, direct exchange, delayed reimplantation 2-stage arthroplasty, and medical suppression with antifungals.…”

Case: We present a case report of a 64-year-old man who developed a rare Bipolaris species fungal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after revision arthroplasty for complications associated with a metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty. The patient underwent a 2-stage debridement with antibiotic bead placement and implant retention, along with chronic antifungal suppression. At the 2-year follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic. Conclusion: Fungal PJI with filamentous fungi such as Bipolaris species is a rare clinical entity. This case report highlights the clinical presentation and management of this rare condition.
