Abstract:
Treatment of infected aneurysms consists of operation, which depends on the location and pathologic type, and antibiotic therapy, before and at least six weeks following operation. The authors present a case of two consecutive aneurysms occurring in a patient with Salmonella infection. Full recovery was obtained after surgical excision of the aneurysms, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and cholecystectomy.
