Mycotic aneurysm is a serious clinical condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella species are the most common causative pathogens. Klebsiella pneumoniae was rarely reported as a possible pathogen causing mycotic aneurysm; therefore, we describe a K. pneumoniae-related fatal bacteremia mycotic aneurysm in a patient in spite of appropriate antimicrobial agents and surgical management.
霉菌性动脉瘤是一种严重的临床病症,具有较高的发病率和死亡率。金黄色葡萄球菌和沙门氏菌是最常见的致病病原体。肺炎克雷伯菌作为导致霉菌性动脉瘤的可能病原体鲜有报道;因此,我们描述了一例尽管采用了适当的抗菌药物和手术治疗,但仍因肺炎克雷伯菌引发致命菌血症性霉菌性动脉瘤的病例。
