A 73-year-old man presented to our hospital 5 months after a porcine replacement of an aortic valve with persistent fevers, meningoencephalopathy, and progressive renal failure; evidence of systemic emboli was found subsequently. The results of an exhaustive evaluation were negative except for two of 23 blood cultures that were performed; each of these two cultures yielded one colony of Drechslera species (now known as Bipolaris) on one plate. Autopsy revealed a fungal vegetation (9.5 x 3.2 x 3.0 cm) in the ascending aorta that arose from suture material 1.0 cm distal to the aortic valve. Mycologic evaluation of the isolate revealed that it was Bipolaris spicifera.
