  • Title: Candida endocarditis treated with a combination of antifungal chemotherapy and aortic valve replacement.
    Author: Stone DL.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1975 Nov; 37(11):1191-4. PubMed ID: 1191435.
    Abstract:
    A case of Candida albicans endocarditis is described in which treatment with 5-fluorocytosine was started after aortic valve replacement, but relapse followed discontinuance of treatment. At a second operation the aortic valve was replaced under 5-fluorocytosine cover and treatment was continued with both 5-fluorocytosine and amphotericin-B. No resistance to 5-fluorocytosine developed, and the candida infection was eradicated. The patient is well 22 months after his operation.
