“…2 This entity includes patients with bacteremia that seed normal or atherosclerotic arteries, weakening the arterial wall and resulting in an aneurysm. In these cases, the source of bacteria can be multiple, including pneumonia, 3 appendicitis, 4 intra-arterial drug injection by abusers, 5 osteomyelitis, 6 or typhoid fever, 7 among others. The most common bacteria associated with aortic infections are salmonella and staphylococcus, whereas streptococcal infections are rare.…”

Human infections due to group C streptococcus (SGC) are unusual. Among them, vascular compromise, especially aortic involvement, is extremely rare. A case of microbial aortitis with aneurysm formation, likely secondary to a SGC soft tissue infection, in a 61-year-old patient who was caring for a purulent leg wound of his horse, is presented. He was successfully treated with antibiotics and in situ aortic replacement with a prosthetic graft and an omental wrap. He remains well almost 2 years after surgical intervention. Aortic infection caused by SGC is a rare condition that can be successfully treated with in situ prosthetic graft replacement.

“…Obwohl in der Literatur kein Konsens betreffend der Nomenklatur herrscht, scheint der Begriff infektiöse Aortitis sinnvoller [1]. Erstmals publizierte Cathcart 1909 den Fall einer durch Salmonellen verursachten infektiösen Aortitis [3].…”

“…(9), and the rate of recurrence of bacteremia is higher in HIV-1-infected patients than in other immunocompromised patients (10,11). Bacteremia in HIV-1-infected patients easily develops, especially when the CD4 count is below 200/mm 3 (11). Bacteremia due to non-typhoidal Salmonella induces endovascular infection in 10-25% of patients older than age 50 (2,12,13).…”
