[Salmonella aortitis complicated by rupture. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems].

We observed a case of aortitis due to Salmonella in a patient with spondylodiscitis. Outcome was fatal despite resection and grafting, extensive drainage and adapted but unsuccessful antibiotic treatment. Based on the literature, suggested treatment for patients with spondylodiscitis includes extra-anatomic bypass combined with resection of the infected tissue and adapted antibiotherapy.
