title: Abdominal aortic aneurysm infected by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
abstract: Infected aneurysms caused by Yersinia are very uncommon and are principally due to Yersinia enterocolitica. We describe the first case of an infected aneurysm caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in an elderly patient with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
