摘要
Fungal infection is a major cause of death in patients who undergo organ transplantation. The incidence of Aspergillus or Mucor infection is low compared with Candida species. We report a case in which Aspergillus and Mucor infected both the hepatic and renal arteries, leading the 2 arteries to rupture at the same time. The patient died 4 days after the second operation. We review the recent literature about this topic and explore the possible route of transmission in our patient. We also discuss the prophylactic methods for Aspergillus and Mucor infections.
