Mycotic aneurysm caused by Helicobacter cinaedi in an immunocompetent patient
Mycotic aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency situation that usually requires prompt surgical management in addition to antibiotic treatment. In the following clinical example, we present a case of mycotic aneurysm caused by Helicobacter cinaedi in an immunocompetent patient. The challenges of microbiological detection and relevant aspects for the management of this rare pathogen are discussed.
