Aortic arch mycotic aneurysm, an uncommon cause of sepsis, carries a grave prognosis. Clinical presentations as well as laboratory and radiologic examinations may be noncontributory and often misleading. In a patient with a fever of unknown origin, only the radiogallium study could enable an accurate diagnosis and pinpoint the anatomic localization of the mycotic aneurysm as the cause of fever.
主动脉弓感染性动脉瘤是脓毒症的一种罕见病因,预后严重。临床表现以及实验室和影像学检查可能并无助益,且常常具有误导性。对于不明原因发热的患者,只有放射性镓扫描能够做出准确诊断,并确定感染性动脉瘤的解剖定位为发热原因。
