Mitral-Valve Endocarditis due to Candida albicans: A Case Report
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 4
Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection among endovascular infections. Fungal endocarditis, especially caused by Candida albicans, is very rare, and its diagnosis is often difficult due to the negative results of blood culture and the presence of nonspecific symptoms. In this study, a patient who developed endocarditis on a normal valve due to infection with Candida albicans is presented.
