Infecção por feohifomicose em joelho

Abstract

ResumoA feohifomicose, causada por fungos demáceos, raramente acomete grandes articulações. Este é um relato de caso de feohifomicose, em joelho esquerdo de idoso não imunossuprimido, acompanhado de dor e aumento de volume em região anterior do joelho. Suspeitou‐se de bursite suprapatelar, sendo medicado com anti‐inflamatório não esteroidal, sem apresentar remissão dos sintomas. Fez‐se tratamento cirúrgico, foram ressecadas a bursa suprapatelar e a região anterior do tendão do quadríceps sendo a peça encaminhada para exame anatomopatológico e cultura. No exame anatomopatológico foi possível evidenciar o diagnóstico de feohifomicose. O tratamento instituído foi itraconazol, 200mg/dia por seis semanas, apresentando remissão completa do quadro. O exame físico se manteve normal após um ano de seguimento. Este é o primeiro caso publicado a respeito da infecção por feohifomicose em região suprapatelar. Apesar de quase todos os casos registrados estarem associados a pacientes imunossuprimidos, este foi uma exceção. É importante que se suspeite de feohifomicose nas infecções de joelho, na área da bursa suprapatelar, quando os sintomas não resolverem após o tratamento clínico medicamentoso.AbstractPhaeohyphomycosis is caused by cutaneous fungi and rarely affects large joints. This is a case report on phaeohyphomycosis in the left knee of an elderly individual without immunosuppression. It was accompanied by pain and swelling the anterior knee. The case was first suspected to be suprapatellar bursitis, and was treated with nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, without remission of symptoms. Surgical treatment was performed, with resection of the suprapatellar bursa and anterior region of the quadriceps tendon. The material was sent for anatomopathological examination and culturing. The pathological examination showed phaeohyphomycosis. The treatment instituted consisted of itraconazole, 200mg/day for six weeks, and complete remission of symptoms was achieved. The physical examination remained normal after one year of follow‐up. This is the first published case of phaeohyphomycosis infection in the suprapatellar region of the knee. Although almost all the cases reported have been associated with immunosuppressed patients, this was an exception. It is important to suspect phaeohyphomycosis in cases of knee infection, in the area of the suprapatellar bursa, when the symptoms do not resolve after clinical treatment.
