	abstract = {A case of Torulopsis glabrata endocarditis occurring in a patient 14 months after aortic homograft valve replacement is reported. The infection was not controlled by amphotericin B which led to progressive renal impairment. Re-operation was delayed by the development of multiple infarctions due to coronary emboli. The infection was subsequently eradicated by oral treatment with the newer antifungal agent, 5-fluorocytosine, but death of the patient eventually occurred from an arrhythmia related to the persisting myocardial failure consequent upon episodes of transmural infarction. Current evidence favours the use of early re-operation in all cases of endocarditis in addition to aggressive chemotherapy with a combined regime of amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine. Clinical pharmacology of 5-fluorocytosine is briefly discussed.},
