title: Iatrogenic bilateral femoral mycotic aneurysms: a case report following burns.
abstract: Haemodynamic monitoring is important in severely burned patients and repeated catheterization of the arteries of these victims seems to be inevitable. We present a 46-year-old female with 54 per cent TBSA burns who suffered from bilateral femoral mycotic aneurysms due to repeated arterial punctures.
