Infective endocarditis is the most common and dangerous form of endovascular infection. Fungal endocarditis especially of native valve is rare with Candida albicans being the causative organism in one-fourth of such cases. Diagnosis of such cases is further complicated if blood cultures are sterile, vegetations are not initially seen on echocardiogram and patient presents with non-specific symptoms. We hereby report a patient with native valve fungal endocarditis, treated successfully with voriconazole.
