Candida parapsilosis: An Unusual Cause of Infective Endocarditis

Abstract

Fungal endocarditis (FE) is a rare form of infectious endocarditis caused by fungi. Herein, we report a case of fungal pacemaker lead endocarditis. FE, especially in the setting of in-vivo cardiac devices, is on the rise. A high index of suspicion is required for its management that involves a combination of medical and surgical therapy.
