Abstract

Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis is one of the rarest and severest complications in cardiological patients. We describe a patient with an intracardial pacemaker who was diagnosed as having Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis. Postmortem examination showed a large, Aspergillus-infected thrombus encased in the right ventricle, pulmonary trunk and main pulmonary branches.

Abstract

We report the treatment of cerebral aspergillosis with amphotericin B, flucytosine, surgery, and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) after a liver transplant. The patient died 2 months after cessation of antifungal therapy, as a consequence of multiple-system organ failure. The only relevant postmortem finding in the brain was a small, encapsulated abscess containing hyphae. This case indicates that L-AmB is an effective alternative drug for cerebral aspergillosis.
