A Case of Aspergillus Pericarditis in the Setting of Invasive Aspergillosis: The Role of Surgery in a Multi-modal Treatment

We report the case of an immunocompromised patient admitted for chest pain secondary to pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis liquid analysis revealed an Aspergillus pericarditis. Advanced multimodality imaging later revealed invasive aspergillosis. The patient was treated with pericardectomy and...

description We report the case of an immunocompromised patient admitted for chest pain secondary to pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis liquid analysis revealed an Aspergillus pericarditis. Advanced multimodality imaging later revealed invasive aspergillosis. The patient was treated with pericardectomy and long-term antifungal therapy. Novel teaching points are as follows: Pericardectomy is an efficient treatment for Aspergillus pericarditis. Disease control can be obtained without local relapse with pericardectomy and long-term antifungal therapy.
