Native Aortic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Scopulariopsis Species: Case Report, Considerations for Management, and Review of Literature.

ABSTRACT: We present the first case of native aortic valve endocarditis caused by Scopulariopsis. Intraoperative images and videos from valve replacement surgery illustrate the severity of fungal endocarditis. This case demonstrates the aggressive presentation of left-sided fungal endocarditis, highlights challenges with treating highly resistant fungi, and considers the potential utility of olorofim.
