摘要：

Fungal endocarditis is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker implantation. In all reports we have identified, this infection has been fatal, diagnosed postmortem. We present a patient in whom early echocardiographic diagnosis resulted in curative surgical and antimicrobial therapy. Fungal endocarditis is an unusual, but treatable complication of permanent pacemakers.
