Abstract:
A life-threatening Vibrio vulnificus infection occurred in a 52-year-old Korean woman with hepatic cirrhosis. Four days after ingesting raw crab, the patient presented to the hospital with nausea, vomiting, fever, hypotension, and hemorrhagic blistering of the left foot. Vibrio vulnificus was recovered from both her blood and a foot wound.
