[Primary mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta from salmonella injection. A new case successfully operated upon (author's transl)].

A double aneurism, located in the abdominal aorta and left common iliac was found complicating a salmonella typhimurium infection which had been present for 7 months. A by-pass operation between the inaffected iliac arteries was followed by resection of the two aneurisms. Cultures taken from the walls of the aneurisms showed the presence of salmonella typhimurium. The authors stress the particular seriousness of the spontaneous evolution of such mycotic aneurisms.
