We present a rare neglected case of fungal pulmonary valve endocarditis which presented with typical extra cardiac manifestations after repeated injections for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Surgical intervention to replace the pulmonary valve was the only option to manage the patient in spite of extensive medical treatment.
我们报告了一例罕见的被忽视的真菌性肺动脉瓣心内膜炎病例,该病例在反复注射治疗内脏利什曼病后出现了典型的心脏外表现。尽管进行了广泛的药物治疗,但手术干预置换肺动脉瓣是治疗该患者的唯一选择。
