The case is reported of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma with metastases who developed a septic focus in a saphenous vein. Salmonella enteritidis was cultured from blood, sputum and stool specimens, and from a thrombus removed from a varicosity of the saphenous vein. Extraintestinal infections caused by non-typhoid salmonella usually afflict debilitated and immunocompromised patients. Metastatic septic foci may appear anywhere in the organism, including the vascular system, but involvement of the venous system has not previously been reported.

A successfully treated case of Salmonella infection of the thoracic aorta is described. Salmonella enteritidis was isolated from blood cultures and from operative cultures of the aorta. Computed tomography suggested the site of infection, and the resection of the thoracic aortic aneurysm with specific antibiotic therapy resulted in a satisfactory outcome. Although once invariably fatal, improved diagnostic roentgenographic techniques, more potent antibiotics, and surgical advances have resulted in at least 45 reported survivors over the last 15 years. The pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and the treatment of aortitis due to Salmonella species are reviewed in 98 cases reported in the English-language literature since 1948. Early diagnosis and a combination of prompt surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy are essential for survival.

The authors describe a Salmonella typhimurium infection of thoracic aorta aneurysm in an immunocompetent subject. The patient, a 62-year-old male, was found to have recurrent S. typhimurium bacteremia despite multiple antibiotic treatments. A roentgenogram of the chest, which was normal on admission, revealed the presence of a first arch enlargement of the heart shadow. A computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical resection of the aneurysm was carried out with in situ prosthetic graft interposition. The surgical specimen culture yielded S. typhimurium. The postoperative course was uneventful. Twenty-four months after discharge the patient remained well. A review of English language literature is presented.
