RESUMEN
La arteritis infecciosa es una entidad considerada rara y atribuida únicamente a determinados agentes con infección crónica como la lúes. Sin embargo, su incidencia puede ser más elevada de lo esperado, ya que puede complicar cuadros sépticos como los de origen urinario. Mayoritariamente se diagnostican cuando se complican, habitualmente en forma de ruptura y hemorragia oculta, a menudo mortal. Se describen dos casos de shock séptico urinario complicados con una arteritis infecciosa precoz que condicionó la ruptura de los vasos afectados y un shock hemorrágico posterior. El urgenciólogo debe estar alerta frente a esta posibilidad, dada su potencial gravedad y la necesidad de un tratamiento agresivo precoz (AU)
ABSTRACT
Infectious, or septic, arteritis is a rare condition attributed only to certain chronic infections, such as syphilis. The incidence of septic arteritis may be higher than supposed, however, as it may be a complication of certain other infections, such as those in the urinary tract. Septic arteritis is usually diagnosed when the patient develops acomplication, such as ruptured vessels or occult bleeding, and such events often end in death. We describe 2 cases of septic shock originating in complicated urinary tract infections with early septic arteritis that led the affected vessels to rupture; hemorrhagic shock followed. The emergency physician should be alert to the possibility of these potentially serious events and be prepared to treat the condition quickly and aggressively (AU)
