Introduction.  Endocarditis caused by yeasts is currently an emerging cause of infective endocarditis and, when accompanied byfever of unknown origin, is more severe since interferes with proper diagnosis and endocarditis treatment.   Case presentation.  The Rio de Janeiro Infective Endocarditis Study Group reports a case of infectious endocarditis (IE) with negative blood cultures in a 45-year-old white female resident in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, previously submitted to kidney transplantation. After diagnosis and intervention, the valve culture revealed  Rhodotorula mucilaginosa . The clinical aspects and overview of endocarditis caused by  Rhodotorula  spp. demonstrated that  R. muscilaginosa  have been isolated from the last IE cases from kidney transplanted patients.   Conclusion.  Though most of the patients (in literature) recovered well from endocarditis caused by  Rhodotorula  spp., physicians must be aware for diagnosis of fungemia and fungal treatment in kidney transplanted patients suffering of fever of unknown origin in the modern immunosuppressive treatment.
