Infectious aneurysm of the two primary iliac arteries: rare localization of Salmonella typhimurium infection

Ann Biol Clin (Paris). 2017 Dec 1;75(6):686-688. doi: 10.1684/abc.2017.1294.

Abstract

Infectious aneurysm is a severe entity of the aneurysmal pathology, due essentially to a bacterial agent. The most frequently implicated organisms are salmonella and staphylococci. We report the case of an infectious aneurysm of the two primitive iliac arteries with Salmonella typhimurium in a 70-year-old man.

Keywords: Salmonella typhimurium; iliac aneurysm; iliac arteries; mycotic aneurysm.
