Infected aortic aneurysms.

M O Perry

    Journal of Vascular Surgery
    |July 1, 1985

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus can infect inflammatory aortic aneurysms, a rare occurrence. Early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment led to successful surgical repair and no signs of recurrent infection in this case.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Infected aortic aneurysms (IAAs) are serious conditions often caused by Salmonella species.
    • Other bacteria, including Campylobacter species, have been implicated in IAAs, though less frequently.

    Observation:

    • A 70-year-old male presented with an inflammatory aortic aneurysm.
    • Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus was identified as the causative agent of the infection.

    Findings:

    • The patient received targeted antibiotic therapy for Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus infection.
    • Surgical intervention involving aneurysm resection and inline grafting was performed.
    • Postoperative antibiotic treatment continued for 8 weeks.
    • Follow-up imaging (CT scans) at 9 months showed no evidence of recurrent infection.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus as a potential pathogen in IAAs.
    • Successful management involves early bacterial identification, appropriate antibiotic therapy, and surgical repair.
    • Aggressive treatment can lead to favorable outcomes in rare IAA cases.
