Invasive Aspergillosis With Multiple Locations, Mediastinitis, and Cardiac Invasion.

ABSTRACT: A 25-year-old man reporting weight loss and constitutional symptoms was empirically treated for tuberculosis. Following acute seizures, the patient underwent cerebral imaging and was diagnosed with multiple nonischemic cerebral lesions. Thoracic imaging revealed fibrosing mediastinitis infiltrating and obscuring the left atrium and left ventricle. Results of a skin nodule biopsy revealed fungal hyphae, and invasive aspergillosis was finally diagnosed.
