ABSTRACT
Cutaneous manifestations of Vibrio vulnificus septicemia are bullae, vesicles, necrotic ulcers, localized swelling, cyanosis, and gangrene, which begin to occur mostly on the legs. The characteristic cutaneous lesions associated with pain often give an informative clue for the suspicion of Vibrio vulnificus infection in endemic area. We report a case of Vibrio vulnificus septicemia with atypical cutaneous manifestation of generalized erythema multiforme-like eruption in a Korean man, who died within 9 hours following hospitalization in spite of the intensive therapy. We suggest EM-like eruption of V. vulnificus septicemia is the novel cutaneous manifestation and may indicate poor prognosis.
