RECOMMENDATION: DAIR has a relatively high failure rate in fungal PJIs, especially for immunocompromised patients. DAIR should be reserved for patients with truly acute PJIs after an index arthroplasty and in healthy patients (Type A). If DAIR is performed for fungal PJIs, consideration should be given to anti-fungal suppression therapy.
