A mycotic aneurysm related to Salmonella Rissen infection: a case report

Abstract: Background: Salmonella species commonly causes infection in humans and on occasion leads to serious complications, such as mycotic aneurysms. Here, we present the first case reported of a patient with a mycotic aneurysm likely secondary to Salmonella Rissen infection. Case presentation: The patient presented with 4 weeks of lower back pain, chills and a single episode of diarrhoea 2 months prior during a 14-day trip to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an aneurysmal left internal iliac … Show more

“…1 Isolated mycotic aneurysms of the internal iliac artery are rare and only a few cases have been described to date. 2,3 Infected aneurysms are a serious clinical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality left untreated, therefore quick recognition and appropriate treatment are paramount. Sörelius et al (2014) described 3 diagnostic criteria for mycotic aneurysms: (1) clinical presentation (pain, fever, sepsis, or concomitant infection), (2) laboratory tests (elevation of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and white blood cells, or positive cultures), and (3) radiological findings on computed tomography (CT) or MRI (rapid expansion of aneurysm, saccular aneurysm, multi-lobular aneurysms, eccentric aneurysms, periaortic gas, and periaortic soft tissue mass).…”
