Consecutive infected aneurysms caused by salmonella.
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.
