Abstract

Abstract: Aspergillus endocarditis is a rare infection that occurs most commonly in patients with prior cardiac surgery but cases in post‐transplant recipients without prior cardiac surgery have been reported. Diagnosis is often delayed and requires high index of suspicion. We here report a case of Aspergillus endocarditis in solid organ transplant recipient.
