Abstract
A 10-month-old infant girl presented with Aspergillus fumigatus endoca rditis localized to a Gore-Tex patch used as part of the repair for do uble-outlet right ventricle. A new liposomal preparation of amphoteric in B combined with surgical vegectomy resulted in a successful outcome with no evidence of disease recurrence at 15 months' follow-up. Echoc ardiography provided an optimal modality for ongoing evaluation of the rapeutic outcome.
