Salmonella Aortic Aneurysm: a Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1948, Dehlinger1 first reported a case of a fatal rupture of a Salmonella abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 69-year-old man with lumbar osteomyelitis2. Infectious aortitis is uncommon and typically affects immunocompromised elderly men. Salmonella is the most common microorganism in infrarenal infected aneurysm3, which can be divided into five categories: gastroenteritis, enteric fever, bacteremia, localized infection, and chronic carrier state4. We describe a 73-year-old man with nonspecific low-back pain who was diagnosed with infectious aortitis. Even with early antibiotic treatment, it still progressed into a pseudoaneurysm. This may explain why the mortality rate is high with purely medical treatment. After the grafting operation and antibiotic therapy, he was discharged under stable conditions. Case Report
