Brief Answer:
Aneurysms are at risk to burst by way of inflammatory reactions

Detailed Answer:
Good evening.

I'm not able to tell from your question exactly how you contracted or where in your body your infections were talking about serratia-marcescens and citrobacter amalanoticus agents which you've had in the best.

I'm assuming that you have a cerebral aneurysm but that it has not ruptured.

Your question is whether or not there are any permanent consequences that can affect your cerebral aneurysm.

So long as you've been treated for the infections you mentioned then, there is no future consequence that THOSE PARTICULAR infectious agents will leave behind to affect your aneurysm. However, because you have an aneurysm there are increased risks for rupture or further weakening of the walls based upon any FUTURE INFECTIONS you may contract.

Therefore, you should do your very best to minimize exposures to situations where you may contract infections that may then, cause inflammatory changes to occur which may cause the aneurysm to either rupture or degrade the strength of its walls so that rupture can more easily occur under other unrelated circumstances.

I hope this answer satisfactorily addresses your interesting question. If so, may I ask your favor of a HIGH STAR RATING with some written feedback.

Also, if there are no other questions or comments, may I ask you CLOSE THE QUERY on your end so this question can be transacted and archived for further reference by colleagues as necessary?

Please direct more comments or inquiries to me in the future at:

I would be honored to answer you quickly and comprehensively.

Please keep me informed as to the outcome of your situation.
All the best.
