  • Title: [Unusual cause of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia in a 79-year-old male patient].
    Author: Sigusch HH, Zimmermann B, Lessig F, Thalwitzer J, Franke UF.
    Journal: Internist (Berl); 2010 Oct; 51(10):1313-4, 1316-7. PubMed ID: 20521017.
    Abstract:
    High grade fever in the context of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia led to hospital admission of a 79 year old male patient. A covered perforation of the ascending aorta resulted in the formation of a pseudoaneurysm which was complicated by superinfection caused by hematogenic spread of Staphylococcus aureus. The infected pseudoaneurysm found per continuitatem contact to the pericardium and resulted in bacterial pericarditis. Antibiotic pretreatment was followed by operation with a complex procedure including resection of pseudoaneurysm and suture closure of the perforation site.
