“…These data stem from a series of 29 patients with IA, the largest before the year 2000. [1] Since then, numerous isolated case-reports or small series have been published and the reported germs are similar to what was described before 2000: 30 cases of S aureus ,[ 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ] 72 Salmonella spp. ,[ 4 5 16 17 18 7 9 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ] 16 Streptococcus spp.…”

“…S. aureus bacteremia complications in hemodialysis patients usually include infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, metastatic abscess, pulmonary emboli, pleural empyema, and meningitis, whereas infected aneurysm is infrequent [8]. There are only three reports in the literature on infected aneurysms caused by TDC-related MRSA bacteremia (Table 2) [3,9,10]. In all three cases, the aneurysms were located in the abdominal aorta.…”

Patients with an indwelling tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) for hemodialysis access are at a high risk of developing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. MRSA bacteremia complications rarely include infected aneurysm. Here, we report the first case of an infected thoracic aneurysm associated with TDC-related MRSA bacteremia. An 86-year-old Japanese male with a TDC for hemodialysis access developed TDC-related MRSA bacteremia. Intravenous vancomycin was initiated, and the TDC was removed on day 3. Despite removal of the catheter and initiation of vancomycin treatment, MRSA bacteremia persisted. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed no aneurysm; however, calcification of the thoracic aorta was detected on admission. The patient subsequently developed hemosputum. CT revealed a thoracic aneurysm, which turned out to be caused by MRSA bacteremia. The patient eventually died because of the rupture of the infected aneurysm, as confirmed by autopsy. This report demonstrates TDC management in a patient with TDC-related MRSA bacteremia and the importance of investigating a metastatic infection to a calcified artery if bacteremia persists.
