Dr. R Rakesh Kumar, Prof G. K Jaikaran, Prof B Kathirvel
Abstract :
Fungal endocarditis is an uncommon manifestation of systemic fungal infections. We report a 3 months old ( 90 Days ) male child who developed a right atrial mass due to fungal infection. In neonates, endocarditis commonly involves the right sided heart valves. Fungal endocarditis carries a high mortality and surgery is the management of choice. The case has been presented for its rarity and only 5 per 1, 00,000 cases reported in one year
