Abstract
A true aneurysm of the lower thoracic aorta in a preterm infant dying of septicemia at 14 1/2 wk is described. This is a rare complication of infection associated with umbilical arterial catheterization and the 1st case in which Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the likely causative organism.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
