Abstract

A 63-year-old male with mechanical aortic valve replacement presents with Trichosporon mucoides endocarditis. Eosinophilia was noted, which has recently been described in invasive trichosporonosis. He was treated successfully with combination voriconazole and terbinafine therapy. He was deemed not to be a cardiac surgery candidate, due to excessive estimated procedural mortality.
