“…Its treatment includes resection or isolation of the aneurysm and revascularization of the affected limb with autologous or heterologous biological vascular grafts (homografts), always associating prolonged antibiotic treatment to reduce the risk of infection. [3][4]…”

The term intermittent bacteremia is applied in those cases which the patient remains febrile in despite establishing the specific antibiotic treatment and in the presence of negative blood cultures. Its causes are variable and its presence should make us suspect a hidden infection. The appearance of mycotic aneurysms in the context of an infectious endocarditis is very infrequent. The presence of mycotic aneurysms as a cause of intermittent bacteremia is exceptional. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with intermittent bacteremia in the context of mycotic aneurysms secondary to native aortic valve endocarditis, as well as its complete management and treatment.

We reviewed all papers most recently reported in the literature related to infected arterial aneurysms (IAAs) affecting the aorta and vascular beds other than the aorta. In this article, we report on vascular beds other than the aorta. As is the case for aortic IAAs, infected non-aortic aneurysms are rarely encountered. The majority of recent studies are limited to case reports and small series of unusual infected aneurysms. A comprehensive review of this entity was performed based on the available literature from January through December 2008 in all languages. Available reports were analyzed with respect to demographic features, type of presentation, methods of diagnosis and therapy, follow-up, and outcome (morbidity and mortality).
