Aortic dissection associated with Campylobacter aortitis.
Infective aortitis and associated mycotic aneurysms are uncommon clinical entities and most reported cases are associated with Salmonella species. We report successful surgical and medical treatment of a mycotic aneurysm of the aorta which presented as acute pericarditis and may have been caused by Camplyobacter jejuni.
