A 55-year-old man had excision of two mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysms five months after a severe, prolonged bacteremia. At the time of aortic surgery he was asymptomatic and had sterile blood cultures, and the resected aortic specimen demonstrated no organism on bacteriologic or histologic examination. Though these lesions may sporadically heal, their generally inexorable progression toward rupture or disseminated sepsis, and their usual unresponsiveness to antibiotics, dictates their removal in all cases.
一名55岁男性在严重、长期菌血症五个月后接受了两个霉菌性肾下腹主动脉瘤切除术。在进行主动脉手术时，他没有症状，血培养无菌，切除的主动脉标本在细菌学和组织学检查中均未发现病原体。尽管这些病变可能偶尔会自行愈合，但它们通常会不可避免地发展为破裂或播散性脓毒症，而且通常对抗生素无反应，这就决定了在所有情况下都要将其切除。
