Abstract
Mycotic aneurysms, especially outside the aorta, are uncommon, with group A Streptococcus a particularly rare cause. We report a case of extra-aortic mycotic aneurysm following a sore throat without demonstrable bacteremia where identification of the pathological organism was made by molecular diagnostic techniques after a standard laboratory culture was negative.Entities:
