The literature includes little information about the treatment protocol for Aspergillus infection after total knee arthroplasty, since only 3 cases have been reported. We describe the case of a non-immunocompromised patient who lacked predisposing risk factors and presented with pain and swelling. An aspiration under sterile conditions revealed Aspergillus fumigatus. The patient was treated successfully with a 2-stage exchange reimplantation and 6-week course of liposomal amphotericin B. At 4 y after reimplantation, the patient had no evidence of infection or pain.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAspergillus FumigatusProsthetic InfectionTotal Knee ArthroplastyAmphotericin BReview Article43857357810.3109/00365548.2011.574294Q3N/A
