Patrick Harnarayan, Shariful I

Abstract

Ruptured aortic aneurysms due to primary bacterial infections such as Salmonella are very uncommon and are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a rupture of a mycotic right common iliac aneurysm in a previously well thirty-eight (38) year old female hypertensive patient, who was a smoker.
