摘要：
Signs and symptoms of mycotic aneurysms may often be misleading during the early stages, resulting in misdiagnosis and delay in treatment. Mortality is greater than 90% in untreated patients. We report an unusual case of mycotic aneurysms caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae with associated thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis and adjacent pneumonitis.
