    Author: Thawait SK, Akay A, Jhirad RH, El-Daher N.
    Journal: Yale J Biol Med; 2012 Mar; 85(1):97-104. PubMed ID: 22461748.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aneurysm of the aorta is an uncommon condition, and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is exceedingly rare in this setting. We present the first reported case of a GBS-infected abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in North America. Key clinical and imaging findings and pathologic correlation are highlighted. A relevant review of the literature is discussed, which will bring the reader up to date with this specific disease entity.
