ABSTRACT
Vibrio damsela is a halophilic bacterium that has been reported to cause skin ulcers and death in damselfish (Chromis punctipinnis) as well as wound and soft-tissue infections in human. Most of the previously reported cases in humans haute involved wound infections associated with exposure to seawater or handling fish. We experienced a case of primary septicemia due to V. damsela after eating raw fists in a healthy 66-year-old woman who had neither wounds nor history of exposure to sea- water. She presented fever and diarrhea followed by rapidly pregressive bullae and painful edema on left band and forearm. The patient was Improved by intensive surgical debrldement of necrotic tissue and antibiotic therapy.
