Saprochaete species infection is a rare fungal disease reported so far only in immunocompromised patients. We describe the first case of aortitis caused by Saprochaete capitata, presenting as ascending aorta aneurysm, with secondary endophthalmitis in an immunocompetent patient. Infection by Saprochaete capitata is potentially fatal, with a mortality ranging from 50% to 90% of cases. In the present case aortic aneurysm caused by Saprochaete capitata aortitis was successfully treated by the combination of accurate diagnosis with surgical and specific antifungal therapy.

心肌血运重建后具有免疫功能的患者的腐烂的人头主动脉炎。

到目前为止，仅在免疫力低下的患者中，腐烂菌属感染是一种罕见的真菌病。我们描述了第一例由Saprochaete capitata引起的主动脉炎，表现为升主动脉瘤，伴有免疫力的患者继发性眼内炎。人头腐烂杆菌的感染可能是致命的，死亡率为病例的50％至90％。在本例中，通过精确诊断与手术和抗真菌治疗相结合，成功地治疗了由腐烂的人头主动脉炎引起的主动脉瘤。
