Isolated Aspergillosis Myocardial Abscesses in a Liver-Transplant Patient

Abstract EN

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 fumigatus was isolated for the first time and the patient deceased from a disseminated aspergillosis.
