چکیده
Transient salmonella bacteraemia is common in patients with gastroenteritis caused by non-typhoidal salmonella' and may result in metastatic infection. Osteomyelitis, arthritis, meningitis, and endocarditis are well recognised. Older patients with atheromatous arterial disease are susceptible to endothelial infection, which may lead to the formation of an aneurysm.2 We describe a case of salmonella infection in which the thoracic aorta was infected and which presented with haemoptysis.
