Primary bacterial aortitis represents a rare disease with a high lethality. From June 1997 to April 1999 5 patients with an abdominal aortic infection were treated by resection of the infected aorta and in-situ reconstruction or by extra-anatomic bypass. There was no treatment in one case because of the infaust prognosis. 3 patients survived, one with a paraparesis as a result of spinal ischemia. On the basis of our patients the pathogenesis, clinical symptoms with diagnosis and the therapeutic options are discussed.
