MARTINEZ-SERRANO, Adriana Marcela et al. Brain Aspergilosis after Cardiac Transplant: Case Report. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.3, pp.160-166. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022151.

Transplanted patients are susceptible to neurological complications arising, among other things, from the complications of the procedure itself, the critical care, and the side effects to the medications used and the immunodepressive effect thereof. It's causes patients to be exposed to opportunistic infections. Within these, Central Nervous System Infections in the transplanted patient constitute a diagnostic challenge.

Within infectious processes it is important to take into account those related to fungi, especially in the first 3 months after transplantation.

We present the case of a 67 years old patient with a history of heart transplantation, which enters with a febrile process and subsequent neurological compromise.

Palabras clave : Neuroaspergillosis; Aspergillosis; Nervous System Invasive Aspergillosis; (MeSH).
