    Candida prosthetic joint infections (CPJI) are serious complications, often requiring complex surgical management and antifungal therapy.

  • 2

    A total of 385 CPJI cases were analyzed, with Candida albicans being the most common species identified in 47.2% of cases.

  • 3

    Co-infection with Staphylococcus aureus and debridement/retention of the prosthesis were identified as independent predictors of treatment failure.

  • 4

    First-line therapy with amphotericin B was associated with treatment success, highlighting its importance in managing CPJI.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the necessity of complete hardware removal in CPJI management, while local antifungal therapy showed no significant impact.
