Fungal endocarditis (FE) accounts for ~50% of the mortality rate associated with predisposing host conditions. Despite optimal therapeutic strategies, the survival rate remains low. FE is mostly caused by and . Previous valvular surgery is the most essential risk factor for Aspergillus endocarditis, which observed in 40-50% of cases. However, native valve FE caused by Aspergillus is uncommon, with only a few reported cases. We hereby report a case of native valve FE caused by with complications following Wegener's disease and prostate cancer. The patient survived after successful management with the combination of surgical and medical therapy. Aspergillus endocarditis is a rare and fatal fungal infection. Despite difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, medical intervention with antifungal therapy and immediate surgical intervention are essential to achieve desirable outcomes.
真菌性心内膜炎(FE)约占与宿主易感条件相关死亡率的50%。尽管采取了最佳治疗策略,生存率仍然很低。FE主要由 和 引起。既往瓣膜手术是曲霉菌性心内膜炎最重要的危险因素,在40%-50%的病例中可见。然而,由曲霉菌引起的原发性瓣膜FE并不常见,仅有少数病例报道。我们在此报告一例由 引起的原发性瓣膜FE病例,该病例在韦格纳肉芽肿病和前列腺癌后出现并发症。患者经手术和药物联合成功治疗后存活。曲霉菌性心内膜炎是一种罕见且致命的真菌感染。尽管诊断和治疗存在困难,但抗真菌药物治疗和及时的手术干预对于取得理想的治疗效果至关重要。
