[Massive hemoptysis secondary to mycotic aortic aneurysm]
Abstract:
A case of aortic aneurysms caused by fungus, following a sepsis of prostatic origin which produced the death of the patient after a massive hemoptysis, is presented. The postmortem study showed an aortic-pulmonary fistula as the cause of massive hemoptysis. We comment on the clinical features and the etiology of the different types of mycotic aneurysms. The advances in diagnosis techniques, the suspicion and the medical-surgical therapy are the factors which improved the prognosis of this serious disease.
