Rapidly advancing invasive endomyocardial aspergillosis.
The exposure to Aspergillus organisms/spores is likely common, but disease caused by tissue invasion with these fungi is uncommon and occurs primarily in the setting of immunosuppression. We report a case of rapidly advancing invasive endomyocardial aspergillosis secondary to prolonged usage of multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics in a nonimmunocompromised host. A 36-year-old cotton textile worker presented to our institution with a 3-month history of weight loss and fatigue. He reported receiving prolonged use of multiple broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. The echocardiogram demonstrated multiple endomyocardial vegetations and a mass in the left atrium. Myocardial biopsy specimen revealed an invasive endomyocardial aspergillosis. The patient was investigated for immune deficiency including HIV, and this workup was negative. Treatment was started with amphotericin B and heparin for presumed left atrial thrombus. The patient died because of a rupture of mycotic aneurysm that resulted in cerebral hemorrhage. This case illustrates the risk of an invasive fungal infection in a nonimmunocompromised host who is a prolonged user of antibiotics in the setting of environmental exposure of opportunistic invasive fungal infections.

Survival after rupture of the oesophagus and subsequent candidal endocarditis: use of new serological methods in management.
The prognosis following both spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus (Boerhaave's syndrome) and candidal endocarditis is poor. Antifungal treatment for the latter has, in the past, been empirical. A patient who survived both these conditions is described, his case demonstrating some of the major risk factors for candidal endocarditis. Management of his antifungal treatment was guided by newly developed serological methods. Close liaison between microbiologist and clinician is essential for the management of this serious condition.
