Multiple mycotic hepatic and splenic artery aneurysms in a patient with pneumococcal pneumonia: a case report with a review of the literature

Abstract

It is well‐known that the major organisms for mycotic aneurysms are Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella spp but is extremely rare in Streptococcus pneumoniae in postantibiotic era. We demonstrated the first case with multiple mycotic aneurysms simultaneously generated in the splenic and hepatic arteries in a patient with pneumococcal pneumonia.
