Disseminated Fusarium solani infection with endocarditis in a lung transplant recipient.
1998
Eleven days after double lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis, an 18-year-old patient developed a disseminated Fusarium solani infection with tricuspid valve endocarditis. This infection occurred under fluconazole and immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporin, prednisone and azathioprine, with a normal leucocyte count. Liposomal amphotericin B allowed blood culture negativation. The patient died from a bacterial septic shock.
