Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms are a rare complication of septic diseases. Frequently they are recognized only in an advanced stage, with resulting poor prognosis. This case report describes a perforated mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm following appendectomy. Bacterial culture revealed the presence of streptococcus zooepidemicus, an unusual finding in humans.
