We present a rare neglected case of fungal pulmonary valve endocarditis which presented with typical extra cardiac manifestations after repeated injections for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Surgical intervention to replace the pulmonary valve was the only option to manage the patient in spite of extensive medical treatment.
