[A case of abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm due to Salmonella enteritidis septicemia].

A 66-year-old man suffering from high fever and abdominal pain was diagnosed as abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm due to Salmonella enteritidis septicemia. After complete remission of infection with the antibiotic therapy, we performed a replacement of abdominal aorta with a prosthetic graft. Infection parameters are normal 5 months postoperatively. Although Salmonella septicemia is a serious disorder, it is not a rare infection recently as compromised host increases more. Rapid diagnosis, adequate antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment are essential for successful result of Salmonella aortic aneurysm.
