Abstract
The case discussed involves a 69-year-old Thai woman who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation 9 months before this event. She presented with fever without localizing signs or symptoms.

She was successfully treated with a combination of antimicrobial therapy, optimization of immunosuppressants, and surgical resection.
