Abstract

The primary infection of pericardium and endocardium rarely occurs. This study reports the evolution of a child with acute rheumatic carditis with subsequent pericardial bacterial infection, due to cutaneous abscess and fungal endocarditis. Probably, the long hospital stay, the usage of central venous catheter and the broad-spectrum antibiotics enhanced the colonization, the invasive candidiasis induction and the development of fungal endocarditis by Candida parapsilosis complex yeast.
