A case is reported of isolated native tricuspid calve Candida parapsilosis endocarditis (INTVCE) in a male patient with no history of drug abuse or heart disease. The patient had received hyperalimentation and antibiotics for four months via a central venous catheter after abdominal surgery. He underwent successful treatment with tricuspid valve debridement, liposomal amphotericin (AmBisome) and fluconazole, and remained without relapse during an eight-year follow up. A literature review of 12 similar cases (including the present patient) without history of drug abuse or heart disease, dating from 1970, is included.
