Aspergillus pancarditis manifesting as hospital-acquired infection: Report of two cases and review of literature
چکیده انگلیسی

Nosocomial cardiac infections are most often related to interventions performed within the preceding one to two months of hospital admission and usually affect the endocardium or prosthetic devices. These can be sometimes caused by fungi, especially the molds. This is a report of rare fungal pancarditis seen as hospital-acquired infection in two patients who were admitted in the intensive care unit for leptospirosis. The cardiac manifestation was part of systemic mycosis; mechanical ventilation, administration of steroids and hepatorenal failure were the risk factors. Incidentally, both the patients had underlying intrinsic cardiac disease.
