[A case of Candida albicans endocarditis with impaired lung function].

A 53-year-old male was admitted to the hospital because of Candida albicans endocarditis. He had had a thoracoplasty due to pulmonary tuberculosis and showed severe restructive lung function. In 1987 and '89, trachiostomy was made because of respiratory failure. The patient was well until nine months earlier, when he consulted a physician because of fever. The investigations failed in finding the cause of the fever. He was administered antituberculosis agents and antiinflammatory drugs but had a fever every day. Two months before admission, a cardiac ultrasonographic study showed evident vegetations with mitral regurgitation. From the above course and examinations, a diagnosis of Candida albicans endocarditis was made. Infusions of CEZ, TOB, PIPC and miconazole for more than one month was ineffective. In November, 1990, he was referred to our medical center for the purpose of operation. A blood culture proved Candida albicans infection. An intravenous administration of fluconazole 400 mg/day was begun. However, there was pulmonary bleeding probably due to heparin used for prevention of atrial thrombosis and he developed fever, hypoexemia, ventricular tachycardia, and hyponatremia. He underwent mitral-valve replacement with a SJM valve. Culture of the vegetated mitral valve again proved Candida albicans. After operation, hypoexemia, ventricular tachycardia, hyponatremia were improved gradually. However he had an eosinophilia, eruption, and dyspnea. We suspected a drug eruption of fluconazole. Lymphocyte stimulating test of fluconazole proved positive. After the episode, he had no symptoms and was discharged.
