We report a case of Candida parapsilosis prosthetic heart valve infective endocarditis in a 67-year-old man, The infection was successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) and flucytosine. Surgical replacement of the infected valve was necessary. Recurrence was prevented with oral fluconazole 400mg daily as maintenance therapy, The patient remained well after 2 years of follow-up.
