Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2021 Nov;113(11):804-805. doi: 10.17235/reed.2021.8236/2021.

Abstract

A 69-year-old male presented with a 5-day history of backache, asthenia, and fever. At admission, hemoglobin was 6.4 g/dL and there was no gastrointestinal bleeding. His medical history was remarkable for an endovascular aneurysm repair performed 10 years before, with implantation of a bilateral aorto-iliac graft.
