- W4380793571 abstract "Introduction: Ruptured mycotic aortic aneurysm is a relatively rare, life-threatening disease, which is associated with remarkable mortality. In East Asia, mortality caused by this disease is high and it is commonly caused by Salmonella species. Majority of cases of mycotic aneurysms caused by Salmonella were in the abdominal aorta wherein most of them presented with chills and fever while some presented with diarrhea from 2 days to 1 month before the aneurysm was diagnosed. Patients who present with diarrhea and abdominal pain are likely to be missed. It is therefore important that mycotic abdominal aneurysm be recognized early, and prompt treatment be initiated. Case: A 78-year-old American male, Philippine immigrant with history of ischemic stroke and chronic smoking presented with diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. Complete blood count showed leukocytosis with neutrophilic predominance. A computed tomography scan of whole abdomen exhibited a fusiform aneurysm of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with large periaortic hematoma indicating prior rupture. Open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was successfully done and intravenous Meropenem and Ciprofloxacin were given. Blood, urine, thrombus, and aortic plaque cultures were obtained and all revealed Salmonella specie with same antibiogram. Intravenous Meropenem and Ciprofloxacin was transitioned to intravenous Ceftriaxone and was continued for 6 weeks post-operatively. Conclusion: Mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm can be diagnosed with the combination of clinical symptoms, laboratory, radiological findings, and intraoperative findings. However, vague and non-specific symptoms do not rule out the diagnosis. High index of suspicion and low threshold for CT imaging is necessary in any patient age >60 years who present with abdominal pain and with previous history of gastroenteritis. Prompt initiation of antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention are the treatment of choice." @default.
