摘要
A patient who never resided in an endemic area for dimorphic fungi was diagnosed with Histoplasma capsulatum endocarditis. His diagnosis was suggested by yeast and hyphae on cardiac valve tissue pathology. Isavuconazole was an optimal therapeutic option due to renal dysfunction and anticoagulation with warfarin for mechanical valve replacement.
