A rare case of aortitis and occlusive iliac thrombus due to Campylobacter fetus bacteremia
A 66-year-old male presented with 1-week of fever and generalized weakness. Workup revealed <i>Campylobacter fetus</i> bacteremia. Further investigation with imaging showed distal abdominal aortitis with occlusive thrombus in the right common iliac artery. <i>C. fetus</i> bacteremia with endovascular localization is clinically very rare but with high mortality rate.
