Abstract
The authors report the case of a patient presenting with atypical feat ures of Candida albicans cardiac infection, with unusual infectious de structive lesions. While the initial hypothesis was that of aortic end ocarditis, the clinical course and operative findings showed echocardi ographic features of septal micro-abscesses adjacent to the aortic ori fice, which was devoid of any infectious lesions.
