Case ReportsVibrio vulnificus septicaemia presenting as spontaneous necrotising cellulitis in a woman with hepatic cirrhosis.
Vibrio vulnificus is a virulent marine organism commonly found in Hong Kong coastal waters which contaminates local sea-food. It may produce a primary septicaemia, often associated with secondary skin lesions, following ingestion of raw shell fish. We report a rapidly fatal case of primary V. vulnificus septicaemia in a 50-year-old housewife with post-hepatitic cirrhosis presenting as spontaneous necrotising cellulitis of the legs. V. vulnificus infection should be considered in patients with a history of liver disease with acute septicaemia and characteristic skin lesions.
