Aspergillus mediastinitis following orthotopic heart transplantation: case report and review of the literature.

T Levin1, B Suh, D Beltramo, R Samuel.   

Abstract

Bacterial mediastinitis after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is well described in the literature. However, little information has been published on fungal mediastinitis in this population. We describe a man with Aspergillus fumigatus mediastinitis diagnosed 10 weeks after OHT. The patient was treated with voriconazole. The literature on Aspergillus mediastinitis is also reviewed.
