Isolated Aspergillosis Myocardial Abscesses in a Liver-Transplant Patient
Keyword(s):
Cardiac abscess is an uncommon and fatal complication after transplantation. We report a case of an initially isolated aspergillosis myocardial abscess diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). At that time, there was no other biological evidence or other extracardiac manifestations. A three-month course of dual antifungal therapy followed by a single antifungal therapy was empirically given. Six month after admission,Aspergillus fumigatuswas isolated for the first time and the patient deceased from a disseminated aspergillosis.
