We report Aspergillus delacroxii (formerly Aspergillus nidulans var. echinulatus) causing recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis. The fungus was the sole agent detected during replacement of a mechanical aortic valve conduit due to abscess formation. Despite extensive surgery and anti-fungal treatment, the patient had a cerebral hemorrhage 4 months post-surgery prompting a diagnosis of recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis and fungemia.
我们报告了一株德拉克罗克曲霉(以前称为构巢曲霉棘状变种)引起复发性人工瓣膜心内膜炎。在因脓肿形成而更换机械主动脉瓣管道期间,该真菌是唯一检测到的病原体。尽管进行了广泛的手术和抗真菌治疗,但患者在术后4个月发生脑出血,从而诊断为复发性人工瓣膜心内膜炎和真菌血症。
