[Fungal thrombus of the right atrium on a central venous catheter. Apropos of a case].
The authors report the case of a 9 year old child in an intensive care unit after multiple trauma, presenting with a candida septicaemia and a central venous catheter. Echocardiography, performed because of the inefficacy of medical treatment, showed a right atrial thrombus. Surgical ablation was decided because of its extreme mobility and persisting infection, and resulted in cure of the patient.
