    Abstract:
    We present a case of an elderly patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, who presented with recurrent fever and abdominal pain, after which he was diagnosed with an infected abdominal aortic aneurysm, which represents only 1% of all aneurysms. The patient underwent surgical resection of the aneurysm, rifampicine-impregnated Dacron graft placement and intravenous antibiotic treatment. Microbiology reported Salmonella infection in the aneurysm. Currently, the patient is asymptomatic and without laboratory evidence of inflammatory process. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de edad avanzada, con diabetes mellitus descompensada, quien presentó un cuadro clínico de fiebre y dolor abdominal recurrente, tras lo cual fue diagnosticado con un aneurisma infeccioso de la aorta abdominal, los cuales representan solamente un 1% de todos los aneurismas. El paciente fue sometido a resección quirúrgica del aneurisma, injerto con dacrón impregnando con rifampicina y tratamiento antibiótico intravenoso. La microbiología del aneurisma confirmó infección por Salmonella. Actualmente, el paciente se encuentra asintomático y sin evidencia laboratorial de proceso inflamatorio.
