[Primary aspergillus endocarditis].

A 38-year old man was admitted for investigation of suspected endocarditis presenting with two cerebrovascular accidents and pyrexia. The initial clinical, echocardiographic and infectious investigations were normal, apart from a neutrophilic leukocytosis. The clinical course was marked by the recurrence of systemic embolism in the lower limbs, the appearance of cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy and, within a short period of time, of massive aortic valve vegetations.
