Donor-derived invasive fungal infections among solid organ transplant recipients are rare but sometimes devastating events associated with notable morbidity and mortality. Here we describe two donor-derived fungal infections - one Candida parapsilosis complex infection and one Aspergillus fumigatus infection - that occurred among heart transplant recipients at a quaternary care center. Both recipients survived their infections, though with substantial morbidity despite aggressive surgical intervention and antifungal therapy.
