Myocardial Abscess After Myocarditis: Advantages of Multimodal Imaging Detecting the Rare Case of Fungal Abscess.

ABSTRACT

We discuss the rare case of a myocardial abscess of the left ventricle in a 42-year-old man on immunosuppressive therapy after fulminant myocarditis. Multimodal imaging detected the myocardial abscess along with other septic emboli caused by infection with aspergillus fumigatus, which could be treated effectively with antimycotic strategies.
