Core Tip	Non-albicans Candida prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare, while no clear guidlines exist regarding treatment of these infections. The purpose of this study was to clarify, by reviewing the current published cases, the treatment options of non-albicans Candida PJIs and possibly to improve the medical and surgical care of such cases. A literature review of all existing non-albicans Candida PJIs cases through April 2018 was conducted. The combination of two stage revision arthroplasty and administration of prolonged antifungal therapy after initial resection arthroplasty is suggested on the basis of limited data.
