We present a case of septic arthritis of the hip caused by Candida albicans in a 24-year-old woman. This is the first report of a Candida infection of the hip in a patient without any predisposing factors. She underwent a two-stage total hip arthroplasty three years after the onset of the infection. An elevated plasma level of beta-D-glucan suggested Candida as the infecting organism and the diagnosis might have been made earlier if this test had been undertaken at presentation.
