Zusammenfassung:A patient with Aspergillus endocarditis, myocarditis and pericarditis is described. A 55-year-old man developed necrotizing fasciitis of the lower abdominal wall, pelvis and right thigh. Despite aggressive surgical débridement and antibiotic coverage, the patient died of multisystem organ failure. Autopsy revealed Aspergillus thromboulcerative endocarditis, myocarditis and pericarditis, acute necrotizing fungal bronchopneumonia and mycotic dissemination to brain, kidney and thyroid gland. A review of the literature showed that in the absence of open-heart surgery Aspergillus endocarditis and myocarditis are very uncommon.
