Multifocal extracranial mycotic aneurysms in a patient with endocarditis

Symptomatic Peripheral Mycotic Aneurysms Due to Infective Endocarditis

Peripheral mycotic aneurysms (PMAs) are a relatively rare but serious complication of infective endocarditis (IE). We conducted the current study to describe and compare the current epidemiologic, microbiologic, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic characteristics of patients with symptomatic PMAs (SPMAs). A descriptive, comparative, retrospective observational study was performed ...

Dynamic Angiographic Nature of Cerebral Mycotic Aneurysms in Patients With Infective Endocarditis.

Mycotic Endocarditis and Meningitis

Case report R. B., an 1 8-year-old schoolgirl with rheumatic mitral stenosis, developed subacute bacterial endocarditis in May 1944. After a preliminary and unsuccessful course of penicillin treatment elsewhere, she was transferred to the New Haven Hospital in September 1944.

Mitral endocarditis due to Rothia aeria with cerebral haemorrhage and femoral mycotic aneurysms, first French description

Altogether, severity and antimicrobial susceptibility should make us consider the management of R. aeria endocarditis as Staphylococcus aureus methicillin-susceptible endocarditis.
