Aspergillus endocarditis is the second most common cause of prosthetic endocarditis, especially the aortic valve, after Candida spp. Aspergillus endocarditis can occur on native and prosthetic valves, even in immunocompetent hosts.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this article, we describe a case of recurrent aortic-valve Aspergillus endocarditis occurring in a Caucasian man without previously known immunocompromised status with multiple brain septic emboli and spondylodiscitis.
