TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a case of Pythium insidiosum arteritis and review reported cases of human pythiosis and identify 31 identified cases in the literature.
TL;DR: A patient with Streptococcus pneumoniae aortitis presented with nonspecific symptoms (fever and back pain) and there was a long diagnostic delay, and the patient did not survive when aortic rupture occurred.
Abstract: A patient with Streptococcus pneumoniae aortitis is presented. Because of nonspecific symptoms (fever and back pain) there was a long diagnostic delay. In addition, the aortitis was located near the renal arteries which severely hampered early surgical treatment. Although emergency surgery was performed when aortic rupture occurred, the patient did not survive. Infectious arteritis of large vessels is a diagnosis often made late and associated with high mortality.
TL;DR: The authors examine equine viral arteritis, emphasising occurrence of the disease, distribution of the caused agent, clinical features, modes of transmission, pathogenesis, the carrier state, diagnostic tests and control measures including vaccination.
Abstract: Summary: The authors examine equine viral arteritis, emphasising occurrence of the disease, distribution of the caused agent, clinical features, modes of transmission, pathogenesis, the carrier state, diagnostic tests and control measures including vaccination.
TL;DR: This is the first reported case of infectious arteritis involving the internal carotid artery complicating retropharyngeal abscess and highlights the importance of thorough examination of imaging performed in the context of deep neck space abscess to detect signs of vascular involvement.
TL;DR: The authors report a case of isolated thrombosed infected common femoral artery and discuss the different mechanisms leading to infection, the work-up and the current treatment options.
Abstract: Primary infectious arteritis is exceptional and remains a challenging problem. The etiology of these infections changed in recent years. The authors report a case of isolated thrombosed infected common femoral artery. They discuss the different mechanisms leading to infection, the work-up and the current treatment options.
