Resumo
A infecção primária do pericárdio e do endocárdio é rara. Este estudo descreve a evolução de uma criança com cardite reumática aguda, complicada com pericardite infecciosa bacteriana, secundária a abscessos de pele e endocardite fúngica. O tempo prolongado de internação, o uso de cateter venoso central e a antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro foram os fatores que provavelmente favoreceram a colonização, a candidíase invasiva e o desenvolvimento da endocardite por levedura do complexo Candida parapsilosis.Referências
