    Author: Mohd Alkaf AL, Syed Rasul SH, Abdul Rahman I.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2016 Apr; 71(2):96-7. PubMed ID: 27326956.
    Abstract:
    Symptomatic bronchial artery aneurysm warrants urgent intervention. It has a known association with pulmonary infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. We hereby report an elderly lady with a ruptured left superior bronchial artery mycotic aneurysm. She was in the early stages of treatment for a left lung abscess. She had multiple episodes of haemoptysis following which she underwent a left lower lobectomy. Presentation of lung abscess with a concurrent ruptured mycotic aneurysm warrants early surgical intervention and can be curative as seen in this case.
