Abstract
Catheter-associated candidemia is a common problem in immunocompromised patients. A leukemic patient had Candida right ventricular mural endocarditis complicating an indwelling right atrial catheter. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Candida right ventricular mural vegetation visualized by two-dimensional echocardiography.
