Abstract
Sepsis is the body’s unregulated response to infection and if not properly managed it can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure and death. The aim of this article is to present a case of aortic periprosthetic infection, diagnosed in the Infectious Diseases Department of the Hospital no. 3 from Craiova, Romania. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a serious medical condition, with a high risk of death due to the rupture of the arterial wall. The early antimicrobial treatment decreased the inflammatory markers level Although antibiotic therapy was initiated early, due to multiple associated pathologies, the patient died.
