    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1987; 49(1):50-3. PubMed ID: 3827635.
    Abstract:
    Fungal endocarditis is caused by fungi Candida and Aspergillus. Continuous intravenous infusions, catheterization, open-heart surgery, tracheal injuries, artificial heart valves can serve as predisposing factors. Aspergillus endocarditis is more common in severe infectious diseases after a prolonged use of antibiotics, cytostatics, glucocorticoids. A case of aspergillus endocarditis of mitral and tricuspid valves is described in a 55-year old patient. The man had been long suffering from silicotuberculosis and had been on a prolonged antibacterial therapy. The aspergillus endocarditis must have developed in the patient due to marked dysbacteriosis.
