Primary Aortoenteric Fistula Due to Salmonella typhi-related Mycotic Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT

Primary aortoenteric fistulas (AEF) are rare. The majority of these are due to atherosclerotic aortic aneurysms. Mycotic aortic aneurysms leading to primary AEF are exceedingly uncommon. Here we report a rare case of primary AEF secondary to Salmonella-related mycotic aneurysm and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
