Abstract:
We report an autopsy case of bronchial asthma patient with a specific abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm did not show arteriosclerosis, and a specific saccular morphology was noted above the bifurcation. Histologically, necrosis of the media resembling acute aortic dissociation was observed. However, angiitis was ruled out. In addition, the aneurysm showed a cicatrized, old intimal crack in addition to the rupture site, suggesting repeated failures. The long-term steroid therapy-related fragility of the arterial wall may have been involved in the etiology of the aneurysm.

The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
