Because of the immunosuppressive therapy received by patients undergoing cardiac transplantation, disseminated infections, including disseminated fungal infections, often develop. Disseminated coccidioidomycosis developed in a 23-year-old man soon after undergoing orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Clinical manifestations included an unusual rash, severe myositis and arthropathy, a rapid downhill course, and pathologic evidence of widespread fungal invasion, including invasion of the cardiac graft. Detailed travel and geographic histories, and perhaps skin testing and antibody determinations for geographic-specific pathogens, should be part of the preoperative evaluation of all transplant candidates.
