Infections caused by fungi are less common and are generally caused by Candida species. Regardless of etiology, these infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of postoperative mediastinitis that occurred following a 5-vessel coronary artery bypass graft and was caused by a filamentous fungus of the Rhizopus genus. The patient was treated with serial debridement, liposomal amphotericin B, and isavuconazonium and was discharged from the hospital in stable condition. Fungal mediastinitis is a rare entity, and clinicians must maintain a high level of suspicion to make the diagnosis. A fungal cause of postoperative mediastinitis should be considered in patients with negative bacterial cultures, uncontrolled diabetes, or current immunosuppression or those who present weeks after surgery with a subacute onset of symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofae302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]],"date-time":"2024-05-24T20:59:16Z","timestamp":1716584356000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Deep
