Salmonella dublin infection of a prosthetic vascular graft successfully treated with ciprofloxacin.
The treatment of an infected vascular graft invariably requires an extra-anatomic bypass through a non-infected tissue plane, as simple drainage with antibiotics is rarely successful. We report a case in which an established infection of a prosthetic vascular graft with Salmonella dublin was successfully treated with simple drainage and a prolonged course of oral ciprofloxacin.
