| Abstract: | We present a periprosthetic fungal infection with massive acetabular osteolysis due to a prologued treatment with antibiotics of a primary infection of a total hip arthroplasty (THA). This case exemplifies how this inadequate approach can lead to a severe complication. The resolution of the case was performed with a 2-stage revision of the THA. |
