  • Title: Medical treatment of recurrent candidemia in a patient with probable Candida parapsilosis prosthetic valve endocarditis.
    Author: Zahid MA, Klotz SA, Hinthorn DR.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 May; 105(5):1597-8. PubMed ID: 8181369.
    Abstract:
    Fungal endocarditis is considered an absolute indication for valve replacement surgery. We describe the successful medical treatment of recurrent Candida parapsilosis candidemia with sequential treatment with amphotericin B and fluconazole in a patient with probable prosthetic valve endocarditis. Because of the presumed effectiveness of amphotericin B and fluconazole in the treatment of this patient, medical therapy should be considered as potentially useful in the treatment of recurrent C parapsilosis fungemia or endocarditis or both.
