Date of Publication: May 2014. | Journal: | Mycoses | Abstract: | Summary: Infective endocarditis due to Candida sp. has a high mortality rate. Traditionally, management involves early surgery and prolonged amphotericin +/- flucytosine. We report a case of Candida parapsilosis bileaflet mitral valve endocarditis cured with anidulafungin and fluconazole, and review the role of echinocandins in the management of Candida endocarditis. © 2013 Blackwell Verlag GmbH. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/myc.12154 | Link to associated publication: | Click here for full text options | PubMed URL: | 24251958 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=24251958] | ISSN: | 0933-7407 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/41705 | Type: | Article | Subjects: | anidulafungin/iv [Intravenous Drug Administration] fluconazole/iv [Intravenous Drug Administration] fluconazole/po [Oral Drug Administration] flucytosine/cb [Drug Combination] flucytosine/dt [Drug Therapy] flucytosine/po [Oral Drug Administration] anidulafungin/dt [Drug Therapy] creatinine/ec [Endogenous Compound] fluconazole/dt [Drug Therapy] fluconazole/cb [Drug Combination] *echinocandin/dt [Drug Therapy] acute kidney failure/si [Side Effect] adult antifungal susceptibility article blood culture *Candida endocarditis/dt [Drug Therapy] Candida endocarditis/dt [Drug Therapy] Candida parapsilosis case report creatinine blood level drug substitution drug withdrawal echocardiography fever heart catheterization human male middle aged minimum inhibitory concentration mitral valve night sweat physical examination priority journal pulmonary hypertension transthoracic echocardiography treatment outcome amphotericin B amphotericin B lipid complex/ae [Adverse Drug Reaction] amphotericin B lipid complex/cb [Drug Combination] amphotericin B lipid complex/dt [Drug Therapy] anidulafungin/cb [Drug Combination] echocardiography fever heart catheterization human male middle aged minimum inhibitory concentration mitral valve night sweat physical examination priority journal pulmonary hypertension transthoracic echocardiography treatment outcome acute kidney failure / side effect Candida parapsilosis case report creatinine blood level drug substitution drug withdrawal *Candida endocarditis / *drug therapy blood culture article antifungal susceptibility adult Candida endocarditis / drug therapy |
