Zusammenfassung
In sehr seltenen Fällen kann eine Salmonelleninfektion zu extraintestinalen Manifestationen führen. Dabei stellt das mykotische Aneurysma eine lebensbedrohliche Komplikation dar und ist durch eine hohe Mortalität gekennzeichnet. Eine schnelle Therapieeinleitung, bestehend aus einer Kombination aus Antibiose und operativer Sanierung, ist erforderlich. Wir berichten über den Fall einer 60-jährigen Frau mit Salmonellenbakteriämie und der seltenen Komplikation eines infizierten Aneurysmas der Aorta ascendens und des Aortenbogens.
Summary
In very rare cases, salmonella infection may be associated with extra-intestinal manifestations. Of these, a mycotic aneurysm represents a life-threatening complication that is characterised by a high mortality rate. Prompt treatment with a combination of antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention is urgently required. We report on the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with salmonella bacteraemia and the rare complication of an infected aneurysm of the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
