A retrospective, single-center analysis of 14 cases ofCandidaendocarditis (from 355 candidemia cases during the years 2012-2019) revealed a high in-hospital mortality (57.1%), a high proportion of healthcare-associated infections (13/14) and a high treatment preference for echinocandins. Transthoracic echocardiography and(18)F-FDG PET/CT had a sensitivity of 54.5% and 57.1%, respectively. Patients were older than previously described and most patients with Candida endocarditis had persistent candidemia for >= 3 days despite antifungal therapy.
