Successful treatment of fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis: case report and review.

H M Gilbert1, E D Peters, S J Lang, B J Hartman.   

Abstract

We report a case of Candida albicans prosthetic valve endocarditis in a patient who was still alive 1 year following a homograft aortic root and valve replacement and antifungal therapy. Only 33 other cases of successfully treated fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis have been reported. We review these 33 cases and six cases of late recurrence following treatment, as well as the clinical features, diagnosis, and options for treatment of fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis.
