A 62-year-old woman with an infected right foot and aneurysmal dilatation of a femoral artery

Article Abstract:

A 62-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital with a foot infection five months after she had been catheterized. The catheter was placed in an artery in her leg and threaded up to her brain to treat a cerebral aneurysm. She developed an infection at the catheter site but developed side effects from the antibiotics she was given. During her subsequent hospitalization, X-rays of her right foot revealed inflammation around the ankle and indicated that she had infectious arthritis. Diagnostic imaging using radio-isotopes showed an aneurysm in her leg artery.
