Abstract

|
|
Serratia marcescens causes various diseases. Skin ulcer is one of S. marcescens related diseases, but it is rare clinical syndrome. We experienced a case of skin ulcer caused by S. marcescens in a woman with alcohol induced cirrhosis. After exposure to fresh water while trimming the codfish, she developed deep ulcer on her right hand and bacteremia by S. marcescens. S. marcescens should be considered as a specific etiology of skin infection presenting after fresh water exposure.
