Candida Endocarditis: Contemporary Cases from the International Collaboration of Infectious Endocarditis Merged Database (ICE-MD)

Abstract

Candida infective endocarditis (IE) is increasingly common, yet most reports have been single-center reviews. We evaluated 16 patients with Candida IE nested within a cohort of 2,022 patients with IE. Prosthetic valve IE was more common in patients with Candida (50% vs 17%); mortality was 37% for patients with Candida.
