Abstract
A case of fungal endocarditis caused by the coprophilous ascomycete Arnium leporinum is reported in a 19-year-old male living in Colombia. The fungus was seen in tissue and recovered in pure culture from peripheral emboli, a mitral valve, pus from an osteolytic lesion, and kidney. The patient died 21 months after cardiac surgery. The range of A. leporinum in the Americas is expanded to include Colombia.Entities:
