Abstract:
Here, we report on a healthy 30-year-old man with no significant medical history, who tested negative for human immunodeficiency virus antigenemia but developed Aspergillus pancarditis. A case of this kind is extremely rare, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with Aspergillus pancarditis, which generally leads to a very poor outcome, who had a long-term favorable clinical course. A biopsy from the right atrium of hypertrophied atrial septum was essential for obtaining the definitive diagnosis. Long-term administration of an effective antifungal oral agent might account for the patient's favorable outcome.
