  • Title: Long-term survival of a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis due to Trichosporon beigelii.
    Author: Martinez-Lacasa J, Maña J, Niubó R, Rufi G, Saez A, Fernández-Nogués F.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 1991 Sep; 10(9):756-8. PubMed ID: 1810731.
    Abstract:
    A case is described of a 49-year-old man with rheumatic aortic valve disease who developed endocarditis seven years after valvular replacement. Trichosporon beigelii was isolated from the blood, a peripheral thrombus, and the removed prosthesis. After two valve prosthesis replacements and prolonged antifungal therapy, the patient survived for four years, but eventually died as a consequence of multiple septic complications due to the same organism. To the authors' knowledge, this is the longest survival time of any reported case of Trichosporon prosthetic valve endocarditis.
