Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive clotting disorder. Chronic kidney disease is a rare complication in haemophilia. The need for a long term hemodialysis in such patients necessitates the use of indwelling central venous catheter for prolonged periods. Fungal endocarditis due to an indwelling catheter is rare, but it is the most severe form of endocarditis. The difficulty of procuring a positive fungal blood culture, diagnosis of a pathogenic fungal species and the need for a treatment that is aggressive, yet has a poor prognosis makes this diagnosis quite a rarity. We are reporting a case of Haemophilia A with chronic kidney disease. Who developed Candida Albicans Endocarditis of the tricuspid valve due to long standing indwelling central venous catheter.
