A 15-year-old girl developed isolated cardiac aspergillosis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Predisposing factors included severe graft-vs-host disease with gastrointestinal tract involvement and immunosuppressive therapy including cyclosporine. The patient died of cardiopulmonary failure 11 weeks after transplantation.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).
