[Infected common iliac aneurysm due to Salmonella: a case report].
A 62-year-old male, presenting with chills and fever and RLQ abdominal pain, was found to have an infected aneurysm of the right common iliac artery infected by Salmonella group C1. CT scan of abdomen and arteriography definitely identified the lesions. Antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention with aneurysmectomy and suprapubic crossover femoro-femoral artery graft resulted in a good recovery and outcome.
