Abstract
Isolated native non-rheumatic fungal tricuspid valve endocarditis is rarely described
in the absence of intravenous drug addiction or use of intracardiac catheters or concomitant
cardiac anomalies. Herein, we report a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis in a non-addict,
which was successfully treated with valve replacement. The cultures of blood and vegetations
revealed Candida Pichia Etschelsii. Candida tricuspid endocarditis must be considered
in any patient with tricuspid vegetation, regardless of predisposing factors.
