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.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2024 Published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation.)
