P. Alonso-bartolome et al., Mycotic (infected) aneurysm of the popliteal artery and arthritis following Salmonella bacteriemia, CLIN EXP RH, 19(3), 2001, pp. 325-328
We report a case of a mycotic (infected) aneurysm of the popliteal artery d
ue to Salmonella enteritidis. The clinical presentation may be confused,vit
h other more common causes of diffuse swollen leg, causing a delay in the d
iagnosis and proper therapy. Prompt surgical resection of the infected aneu
rysm together with medical therapy is required for successful treatment.
