Mycotic or infectious aortic aneurysm is rare and presents high morbidity and mortality rates given the infection recurrence, fulminant sepsis or aortic rupture. We report a case of mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm due to Streptococcus pneumoniae in a female patient with multiple immunosuppressive risk factors, who was successfully treated with surgery and prolonged systemic antibiotic therapy.
