A 35-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain and swelling in the right knee. Swelling persisted after anti-inflammatory treatment. Peripheric spondyloarthritis was considered, but methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and methylprednisolone did not reduce the swelling. Direct examination of synovial fluid and a culture were positive for Candida albicans. Intravenous and intra-articular amphotericin-B were administered. The arthritis regressed and a culture and direct staining showed negative results. Candida arthritis should be considered in patients with arthritis that is resistant to treatment and prolonged, even if risk factors are absent.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArthritisCandidaSpondyloarthropathyCandida arthritis in a patient diagnosed with spondyloarthritisCandida arthritis in a patient diagnosed with spondyloarthritisArticle496793795WOS:0003917194000232-s2.0-850082040782800123310.1590/0037-8682-0089-2016Q2Q3
