Treatment of native valve Candida endocarditis with fluconazole

The Journal of Infection
C J WellsM H Wansbrough-Jones

Abstract

Candida endocarditis of native valves is difficult to diagnose and treat. The majority of cases require valve replacement and long term amphotericin treatment. We describe a case of Candida endocarditis which was successfully managed with fluconazole without valve replacement. The patient has now been reviewed for 4.5 years from the time of diagnosis and 39 months since treatment was discontinued.
