Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Given the lack of availability of new highly effective antimicrobial drugs against multiresistant strains, combination regimens are administered that include rifampicin for its demonstrated in vitro synergism with multiple drugs. A literature review was performed of clinical studies reporting the use of rifampicin in the treatment of MDR Gramnegative bacterial infections. Nineteen studies were found, including only one randomised controlled study. Data in the literature on combined therapeutic regimens with rifampicin are limited and refer mostly to uncontrolled studies. Therefore, the real clinical benefit of using rifampicin-containing therapies for the treatment of Gram-negative multiresistant bacteria in terms of clinical outcome and survival rates still needs to be assessed.

“…In such cases, lifelong anti-tuberculosis medication is necessary (6) and en bloc excision of infected tissue is important (7). Rifampicin-bonded prosthetic graft shows good results (8,9). After treatment, close follow-up is necessary given the possibility of tuberculosis and aneurysm recurrence.…”

We present the case of thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with the tuberculous pleural effusion.An 82-year-old woman underwent emergency stent graft under a diagnosis of dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm. Preoperative computed tomography revealed right pleural effusion supposed to the hemothorax caused by the dissecting aneurysm. But, the effusion was sanguineous color fluid and it was determined to result from pulmonary tuberculosis. The medical team was exposed to the pulmonary tuberculosis; fortunately no one became infected. Physicians should be aware of the possibility of an infected aortic aneurysm and prepare for pathogen transmission.
