| Popis: |
Infective endocarditis is rare in children and is rarer on a normal structural heart in an infant without any surgical intervention. Most cases are related to a pre-existing congenital lesion, the most frequent etiology are Gram-positive cocci and the most feared are fungal agents. This report presents a 7-monthold infant with fungal endocarditis on a normal structural heart. The diagnosis was suspected on clinical examination and was confirmed by echocardiography and positive blood cultures. His particular clinical evolution after medical and surgical treatment illustrates a severe disease with poor prognosis which may be a complication of neonatal intensive care procedures. Unusual cause of fungal endocarditis in a previously healthy infant: neonatal hospitalization in intensive care unit. |
