title: Mycotic aneurysm of the small bowel presenting as gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
abstract: Since the advent of modern antibiotic therapy and active surgical treatment of bacterial endocarditis, septic embolization of the systemic circulation is rarely seen. An unusual presentation of a mycotic aneurysm with gastrointestinal haemorrhage in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and aortic valvular endocarditis which had been managed by aortic valve replacement six weeks before the haemorrhage occurred is reported.
