Abstract:
A small number of complications from moray eel bites have been described to date. Wounds occurring in water provide a favourable context for infections by lesser-known micro-organisms. We share our experience of a case of necrotising dermo-hypodermatitis of the upper limb, emphasizing the importance of rapid diagnosis and the reconstructive dimension of our treatment.
