Myocarditis and pericarditis are complications of disseminated disease.

Macroscopic view of the pericardium at autopsy, showing gross chronic haemorrhagic pericarditis. The confirmation of genus and species was obtained by PCR on blood and vegetations; the pericarditis was a manifestation of disseminated aspergillosis.




Three patients have been reported to have survived when treated. One with amphotericin B and the other two with Itraconazole.

Fabry disease is an uncommon, X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, caused by partial or complete deficiency of the enzyme a-galactosidase A. The defect leads to accumulation of uncleaved globotriaosylceramide on the vascular endothelium and visceral tissues, being the skin, heart, kidneys and central nervous system the most affected organs. We performed review of the literature related to the disease and emphasized that early recognition of angiokeratomas and hypohidrosis are key diagnostic signs of this serious disease. We also addressed the need of multidisciplinary assessment of these patients.
