  • Title: Tibial osteomyelitis due to Aspergillus flavus in a heart transplant patient.
    Author: De Vuyst D, Surmont I, Verhaegen J, Vanhaecke J.
    Journal: Infection; 1992; 20(1):48-9. PubMed ID: 1314228.
    Abstract:
    Aspergillus flavus was identified as the causative organism of a case of osteomyelitis involving the proximal epiphysis of the left tibia in a heart transplant patient. History revealed a previous pretibial wound due to a fall in the street as the consequence of a sudden cardiac arrest. Surgical debridement combined with fungostatic treatment including amphotericin B and itraconazole was followed by clinical improvement, although the fungus could still be recovered by culture on subsequent samples.
