Coxiella burnetii is a rare cause of chronic infection that most frequently presents as endocarditis. We report a case of C burnetii causing an infected abdominal aortic aneurysm with contiguous lumbar osteomyelitis resulting in spinal cord compromise. The diagnosis was established by serologic
A 65-year-old man with fever of unknown origin developed progressive extrahepatic cholestasis. Radiological examination documented a suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Fatal intraabdominal bleeding occurred, leading to death. Post-mortem examination revealed an earlier retroperitoneal rupture of
OBJECTIVE
To study bowel ischaemia in transfemorally placed endoluminal grafting (TPEG) for abdominal aortic aneurysms, and any relation to cytokine response or postoperative fever.
METHODS
Prospective not randomised. University hospital setting.
METHODS
Fourteen cases of conventional surgery and 23
OBJECTIVE
To investigate risk factors to predict postoperative fever after endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
METHODS
Patients undergoing endovascular coiling to treat subarachnoid hemorrhage in Nantong University between November 2011 and September 2014 were retrospectively
BACKGROUND
The postimplantation syndrome of fever and leukocytosis after endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms has not been previously characterized and its etiology is not known.
METHODS
We studied the first 12 patients who underwent successful endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic
Dissection of the aortic aneurysm is a clinical syndrome with the most dramatic course and bad prognosis. Fever is a frequent occurrence, but rarely a dominant symptom. The patient with a prolonged fever caused by dissecting aneurysm of the aorta in whom pleuropneumonia masked the real diseases has
A patient with a dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta had fever of unknown origin. Although his clinical picture included a number of classical features of his disorder, these were initially misinterpreted, largely because fever was the patient's chief complaint. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes
Following acute aortic dissection, it two of the four cases we describe the patients experienced a prolonged febrile syndrome which spontaneously resolved five and 11 weeks later. Because of fever and a murmur of aortic regurgitation, the two other patients with aortic dissection were initially
We report 2 patients with symptomatic aortic aneurysm and serologic evidence of acute Q fever with positive Coxiella burnetii PCR in blood/tissue. This suggests a role for acute Q fever in aneurysm progression. Diagnostic testing for Q fever infection in patients with symptomatic aneurysms in Q
Two cases of leaking atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm are presented. The leakage caused fever and leukocytosis, combined with signs of peritoneal irritation. Blood hemoglobin levels were reduced. Both patients were initially treated for sepsis but within hours the cause was identified; both
We describe a case of Q fever infection with an inflammated proximal ascending aortic aneurysm in an HIV-infected patient. The patient was treated with aortic root replacement and medication for Q fever, a combination of doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine in addition to highly active antiretroviral
The temperature curves of 262 patients affected by subarachnoid hemorrhage, including 107 arterial aneurysms, 26 arteriovenous malformations, 42 idiopathic subarachnoid hemorrhages, and 87 cerebral hemorrhages, were observed and classified into three types: Type I: absence of fever; Type II: fever
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of Q fever and prevalence of chronic Q fever in patients with abdominal aortic and/or iliac disease after the Q fever outbreak of 2007-2010 in the Netherlands.
METHODS
In November 2009, an ongoing screening program for Q fever was
BACKGROUND
The post-implantation syndrome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increasingly recognised. However, when non-vascular trainees are responsible for the care of these patients out of hours, many are investigated if pyrexial. This study assesses the role of microbiological
A 76-year-old man was referred to the Emergency Department because of collapse, epigastric pain and nausea. The patient had been diagnosed with an infrarenal aneurysm of the abdominal aorta nine years earlier. His symptoms were attributed to an aortic-duodenal fistula originating from the aneurysm.
