Modification and duration of therapy for community-associated infected aneurysms in adults

Modify therapy for community-associated infected aneurysms in adults based on the results of culture and susceptibility testing. The optimal duration of therapy has not been established; however, a minimum of 4 weeks for intracranial aneurysms and a minimum of 6 weeks for all other types of aneurysms is usually recommended – seek expert advice. Long-term oral antibiotic therapy following the completion of intravenous therapy is required for some patients (particularly if prosthetic graft material was inserted during an active infection)Wilson, 2016.
