Listeria monocytogenes infectious periaortitis: a case report from the infectious disease standpoint

Published inBMC Infectious Diseases, vol. 19, no. 1, 326
Publication date2019
Abstract

Endograft infection is a rare but extremely dangerous complication of aortic repair (25-100% of mortality). We describe here the first case of Listeria monocytogenes abdominal periaortitis associated with a vascular graft. We also discuss the differential diagnosis of periaortitis and provide a literature review of L. monocytogenes infectious aortitis.
