In a Japanese patient in 2009, Candida Auris was first described. This fungus is attributed to many outbreaks in different countries. It is a highly resistant variant and one of the most violent emerging pathogens.Case presentation: We present a case of endocarditis caused by Candida arius that resulted in a large vegetation on the mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation.Conclusion: Management of endocarditis by collaboration between surgical and non-surgical facilities may ensure a good outcome even in the case of rare violent infections.
