  • Title: Candida prosthetic valve endocarditis cured by caspofungin therapy without valve replacement.
    Author: Rajendram R, Alp NJ, Mitchell AR, Bowler IC, Forfar JC.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2005 May 01; 40(9):e72-4. PubMed ID: 15825018.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old woman with a mechanical mitral valve prosthesis developed late-onset Candida endocarditis. Blood cultures grew Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated vegetations on the valve. The patient was not medically fit for valve replacement, but her condition was successfully treated with 6 weeks of intravenous caspofungin therapy.
