Résumé
We describe the detailed clinical course of rapidly enlarging infective aneurysms during the treatment of endocarditis and purulent pericarditis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes . We show that S. pyogenes aneurysms can enlarge rapidly within 1-2 days. Moreover, we highlight the benefit of transporting patients to a facility offering multidisciplinary treatment, even if vital signs stabilize to the point.
