Abstract:
A 74-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of high fever, abdominal pain, and increasing anemia. Abdominal CT and angiography revealed a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. In an emergency operation the aneurysm was located between the superior mesentemic artery and the renal amtery. Aneurysmectomy and graft interposition were done. Bacteriological examinations of the exudate in retroperitoneal space confirmed the positive diagnosis of aneurysm due to Salmonella choleraesuis infection. The patient continues to remain well 10 months after the operation.
