Abstract
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.
