We present a case of cardiac device-related Aspergillus endocarditis in a patient with a
pacemaker and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant to segue into a review of the
Aspergillus endocarditis literature. Aspergillus endocarditis should be suspected in patients

We present a case of cardiac device-related Aspergillus endocarditis in a patient with a pacemaker and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant to segue into a review of the Aspergillus endocarditis literature.
