Despite significant advances in diagnostic methods, sepsis is still a current medical problem, and its complications contribute to increased mortality among different age groups. The article presents the case of a 71-year-old man who developed an inflammatory aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in the course of sepsis of Salmonella spp. etiology, followed by its rupture.
