Abstract
Aortitis is a rare but serious complication of infection that results in high morbidity and mortality. The most common location is in preexisting aneurysmal disease in a patient with multiple chronic comorbidities. The pathogens often reflect gastrointestinal bacteria, the classic example being Salmonella spp., but also include other enteric flora, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., and more. Herein, we describe 2 cases of aortitis caused by gastrointestinal bacteria and review management of this complex syndrome.
