Aspergillus flavus costochondritis following coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report and a brief review of literature

Aamir Mohammad et al. Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2021 Nov.

Abstract

Bacterial sternal wound infections following cardiac surgery are not uncommon. However, sternal wound infection by a fungus is a rarity, and it warrants a correct diagnosis followed by specific treatment. We report a case of Aspergillus sternal wound infection with costochondritis following cardiac surgery, and briefly review the relevant literature.

Keywords: Aspergillosis; coronary artery bypass; postoperative complications; sternotomy; surgical wound infection..
