MORO RODRIGUEZ, Rubén Tomas et al. Aneurysms by Streptococcal Pneumoniae. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.1  Epub Apr 30, 2021. ISSN 1682-0037.

Streptococcal Pneumoniae is a pathogenic microorganism capable of causing in humans various infections and severe, always serious and potentially lethal invasive processes. The objective of this work was to show the rare presence of Streptococcal Pneumoniae in the onset of aortic mycotic aneurysms and peripheral arteries, a very particular association that places the vascular surgeon in an special therapeutic behavior aimed at eradicating the infection, preventing ruptures and replacing the artery, to maintain the continuity of vessel’s light and prevent serious ischemia’s situations.

Keywords : Pneumococcal; Streptococcal Pneumoniae; mycotic aneurysms; aorta; peripheral arteries.
