“…To our knowledge there are only a few reports [5,8,13,15,18] that describe Candida endocarditis in the right atrium and on the tricuspid valve in infants. In our case, after long-term medical treatment the surgical removal of Candida vegetations resulted in a successful outcome.…”

Infective endocarditis is a rare disease in infants. A 1-year-old boy with a large Candida albicans vegetation in the right atrium and superior vena cava was operated on successfully. During the newborn period he had had a right transverse colostomy for Hirschsprung's disease. Ten months later a subsequent rectosigmoidectomy and direct anastomosis were performed, but because of peritonitis that followed a leak at the site of the anastomosis parenteral nutrition was needed for 8 weeks. The probable source of Candida was an infected intravenous line.

We report the post-mortem findings of the case of a 31-year-old male who, through sexual contacts with a female drug addict, was found to be HIV-positive and developed the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) 2 years later. He was treated for various opportunistic infections over the next 7 years when he presented with cardiac abnormalities and multiple cerebral lesions which were responsible for his death. The results revealed Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis and myocarditis with mycotic thromboembolic extension to the brain, spleen, kidney and pancreas. We review the literature of Aspergillus infection in patients with AIDS and more specifically cardiac involvement with this pathogen.
