Clostridium septicum causing aortic aneurysm, spondylodiscitis, and epidural abscess in an immunocompetent man

C. septicum bacteremia is a severe condition that may cause multifocal infection although presenting with few clinical signs. This unique case reflects the aggressiveness of the bacteria and how antibiotic and surgical treatment should be thoughtfully considered in the presence of aortitis, epidural abscesses and spondylodiscitis.

Abstract

C. septicum bacteremia is a severe condition that may cause multifocal infection although presenting with few clinical signs. This unique case reflects the aggressiveness of the bacteria and how antibiotic and surgical treatment should be thoughtfully considered in the presence of aortitis, epidural abscesses and spondylodiscitis.
