Purulent pericarditis caused by Candida species is rare and is associated with very high mortality. Immunosuppressed transplant patients are particularly susceptible to fungal infections. We report a case of Candida purulent constrictive pericarditis in an immunocompromised heart transplant patient who was treated successfully with antifungal agents, surgical drainage, and pericardiectomy.
念珠菌属引起的化脓性心包炎较为罕见，且死亡率极高。免疫抑制的移植患者尤其易患真菌感染。我们报告一例免疫功能低下的心脏移植患者发生念珠菌性化脓性缩窄性心包炎，该患者通过抗真菌药物、手术引流和心包切除术成功治愈。
