    AbstractVibrio vulnificus is an etiologic agent of septicemia and skin lesions. Patients with chronic diseases, and more frequently chronic liver disease, are specially susceptible to this infection. The main risk factor is shellfish ingestion. In this report we present a patient with chronic liver disease who suffered fulminant sepsis and necro-hemorrhagic bullaes secondary to a V. vulnificus infection. The patient had ingested shrimps two days before. A review of the recent literature on the subject is also presented.
