Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 56 year old man died with disseminated cryptococcosis after immunosuppressive therapy for a hematologic disorder of unknown etiology. The immediate cause of death was cardiogenic shock, probably resulting from a large right coronary ostial embolus and subsequent ischemic myocardial injury. The embolus originated from a bulky mitral vegetation (possibly cryptococcal) demonstrated ante mortem by echocardiography and cardiac angiography, and at autopsy. The differential diagnosis of such an echocardiographic pattern is discussed. |
