Fungal endocarditis is a rare condition whose incidence is increasing due to the rising prevalence of immunocompromised patients, particularly those with HIV. Its occurrence during pregnancy is exceptionally uncommon, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with fungal endocarditis caused by Candida parapsilosis. Despite antifungal treatment and urgent surgical intervention, the outcome was fatal. This case highlights the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in such complex scenarios.
