Due to the advent of antibiotics, mycotic aneurysms, also known as infective aneurysms, now represent only 2.5-5% of all aneurysms. The existing research on this topic is old and scarce. It is highly probably that a neuroscience nurse will care for this type of patient at some point during his/her career. The patient with a mycotic aneurysm is usually critically ill. A 46% mortality has been noted and is related to the multiple problems of these types of patients. Currently, if and when to surgically intervene is controversial. The case of "Mr. C.", a patient at the Montreal Neurological Hospital who developed a mycotic aneurysm secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis, will be presented. His course in hospital, the medical management and treatment as well as the nursing care and educational needs will be described.
由于抗生素的出现，霉菌性动脉瘤，也称为感染性动脉瘤，目前仅占所有动脉瘤的2.5%-5%。关于这一主题的现有研究陈旧且稀少。神经科学护士很有可能在其职业生涯的某个阶段护理这类患者。患有霉菌性动脉瘤的患者通常病情危急。已注意到死亡率为46%，这与这类患者的多种问题有关。目前，是否以及何时进行手术干预存在争议。将介绍蒙特利尔神经病学医院的“C先生”的病例，他因亚急性细菌性心内膜炎继发霉菌性动脉瘤。将描述他的住院过程、医疗管理与治疗以及护理和教育需求。
