  • Title: [Candida infection after aortic valve replacement--a case report with special reference to the literature].
    Author: Krakor R, Fritzsche D.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1992 Feb; 47(2):52-7. PubMed ID: 1585689.
    Abstract:
    Candida-infections of the heart are rare and often combined with a difficult diagnostic and therapy as well as a high mortality rate. That's why we critically finished off diagnostic and therapeutic instructions are present valid by means of a case. To give a proof of a candida-infection is very difficult and demand to include all of clinical and paraclinical directions as well as the often echocardiographic control of implanted strange materials. In the present time the mostly used therapeutic regime is caused of the explantation of strange material already in the case of a suspicion of an infection with candida and the consequent and combined application of antimycotica with the favoured combination of amphotericin B and flucytosin.
