[Salmonella bredney: a rare cause of mycotic aneurysm].
Mycotic aneurysms are rare, remain asymptomatic for a long time, and may be life threatening by their rupture if therapy is delayed. Historically associated with Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus, they now frequently involve Salmonella species in elderly or immunodeficient patients, and complicate vascular investigation or surgical procedures. Frequently located in the abdominal aorta, they can also be found rarely in other location. Therapy associates antibiotics and surgical debridement with reestablishment of vascular continuity. We report a case of ruptured popliteal aneurysm with Salmonella bredney bacteraemia.
