Abstrakt: A 10-month-old infant girl presented with Aspergillus fumigatusendocarditis localized to a Gore-Tex patch used as part of the repair for double-outlet right ventricle. A new liposomal preparation of amphotericin B combined with surgical vegectomy resulted in a successful outcome with no evidence of disease recurrence at 15 months' follow-up. Echocardiography provided an optimal modality for ongoing evaluation of therapeutic outcome.
