    Author: Rhomberg M, Allerberger F, Mittermair M, Flora G.
    Journal: Vasa; 1996; 25(1):90-3. PubMed ID: 8851273.
    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.
