Cryptococcal endocarditis has rarely been reported. Most patients with this condition are associated with risk factors, such as structural heart disease/valve replacement, immunodeficiency/immunosuppression or drug abuse. We report a case of cryptococcal endocarditis of the native valves without any risk factors. A 50-year-old Chinese man was admitted to hospital with fever for 1 month without any underlying heart disease, immunodeficiency, or drug use. He was diagnosed as having Cryptococcus neoformans infective endocarditis and was discharged after valve replacement surgery and long-term antifungal therapy.
