Sumario: | Despite significant advances in diagnostic methods, sepsis is still a current medical problem, and its complications contribute to increased mortality among different age groups. The article presents the case of a 71-year-old man who developed an inflammatory aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in the course of sepsis of Salmonella spp. etiology, followed by its rupture. The case confirms that we must not forget about rare, especially unusual complications, which may depend on the type of microorganism. Properly quick diagnosis allowed for the implementation of appropriate treatment and survival of the patient. |
