ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction and Focal Myopericarditis Due to Cardiac Mucormycosis in an Immunosuppressed Patient

We describe an extremely rare case of fatal cardiac mucormycosis in a renal transplant recipient, clinically manifested by focal myopericarditis and ST-elevation myocardial infarction, due to contiguous mediastinal spread. Cardiac mucormycosis is seen in 0.2–1.2% of renal transplants and carries an unfavorable prognosis despite the timely diagnosis, intensive antifungal therapies, and surgical intervention.
