ABSTRACT
A 29-year-old diabetic woman who had a previously failed renal allograft on maintenance hemodialysis developed sternal aspergillosis with Aspergillus terreus following a pericardiectomy. She was successfully treated with surgical debridement and a combination of antifungal agents including amphotericin B, caspofungin, and voriconizole. The diagnostic difficulties and management are discussed.
