A patient suffering from Candida endocarditis presented with a gangrenous foot. In addition to arterial embolism, occult mycotic aneurysms were found by arteriography. Clinical cure was achieved with a combination of chemotherapy and valvular débridement, but viable Candida persisted in an easily removable embolus. Occult peripheral vascular lesions may be a continuing source of Candida sepsis in some patients.
一名患有念珠菌性心内膜炎的患者出现足部坏疽。除动脉栓塞外，动脉造影还发现了隐匿性真菌性动脉瘤。通过化疗和瓣膜清创术联合治疗实现了临床治愈，但在一个易于清除的栓子中仍存在存活的念珠菌。隐匿性周围血管病变可能是一些患者念珠菌败血症的持续来源。
