We performed a review of the literature presenting one case report observed at Pisa University Hospital. Seventy-four case reports have been included in a period between 1950\u20132022. Immunocompromised status (patients with solid tumor\/oncohematological cancer or transplanted patients) was confirmed to be the main risk factor for this rare opportunistic infection with a high rate of metastatic infection (above all, central nervous system) and mortality. Diagnosis relies on serum galactomannan and culture with PCR on valve tissue or whole blood. Cardiac surgery was revealed to be a life-saving priority as well as appropriate antifungal therapy including b-liposomal amphotericin or new triazoles (isavuconazole). The endocarditis team, facing negative blood culture endocarditis affecting an immunocompromised patient, should investigate this difficult-to-treat pathogen.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics12071190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]],"date-time":"2023-07-17T00:35:04Z","timestamp":1689554104000},"page":"1190","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Native-Valve Aspergillus Endocarditis: Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0266-4436","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Caroselli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases Unit, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo Roberto","family":"Suardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases Unit, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Besola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Surgical, Medical and Molecular Pathology and Critical Care, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Fiocco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Surgical, Medical and Molecular Pathology and Critical Care, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Colli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Surgical, Medical and Molecular Pathology and Critical Care, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Falcone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases Unit, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Pisana, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"250","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-200007000-00006","article-title":"Invasive Aspergillosis Disease Spectrum, Treatment Practices, and Outcomes","volume":"79","author":"Patterson","year":"2000","journal-title":"Medicine"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idc.2021.03.008","article-title":"Aspergillosis","volume":"35","author":"Cadena","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infect.
