What is the survival rate of endocarditis caused by aspergillus?

Varies: Endocarditis is a very serious illness, and aspergillus induced endocarditis will likely be difficult to treat. Survivability always depends on preexisting health conditions, physical health, age, and cardiac function.

Not good: It really depends on many factors, such as the overall health of the patient, the degree of infection, and how early and aggressive therapy is. Mortality generally exceeds 50%.
