Abstract
|
|
|
Vibrio vulnificus infection characterized by extraintestinal manifestations, that is, sepsis and severe wound infection. We experienced a case of sepsis due to V. vulnificus in a patient with liver cirrhosis.
Two days prior to admission, the patient ate shell fish soup and partially roasted small octopus. After massive diarrhea for one day, he admitted due to low blood pressure and bilateral painful edematous skin lesion. The skin was markedly edematous and showed rapidly progressing multiple necrotic areas from feet to cephalad. He expired in spite of aggressive therapy.
On his blood culture, pseudomonas was isolated initially, but V-vulnificus was isolated after reexamination. Antibiotic susceptibility test showed that all antibiotics tested except cephalothin and penicillin were sensitive.
