“…However, E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia is rare and present with severe clinical symptoms, such as endocarditis [3,8], acute meningitis [22], arthritis [23,24], psoas abscess [25], and thoracic spondylitis [26]. According to a previous review [1], many underlying diseases, including heart disease and alcohol abuse, made the patients susceptible to E. rhusiopathiae infection and led to the occurrence of bacteremia.…”

“…The infected patients typically present with one or a combination of the following symptoms: localized skin lesion (erysipeloid), diffuse cutaneous eruptions with systemic symptoms, or bacteremia [2]. However, less than 1% of cases with E. rhusiopathiae infection can progress to bacteremia with life-threatening risk [3]. Penicillin was the preferred antibiotic for E. rhusiopathiae infection, and most of the infected cases were treated successfully.…”

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection occurs in animals and humans. It manifests primarily as a local skin lesion, which can be treated with antibiotics. Systemic infection with E. rhusiopathiae is rare, with low occurrence of bacteremia. We describe a case of E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia leading to shock and rash all over the body in a 49-year-old man with a history of finger puncture by a puffer fish bone. Interestingly, the E. rhusiopathiae cultured in this patient's blood was resistant to multiple drugs, including penicillin G, vancomycin, and gentamicin. The patient was treated successfully with ertapenem and ceftriaxone. Although a few cases of E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia have been reported recently, cases of multidrug-resistant E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia are extremely rare.

“…La mayoría de los casos reportados se vinculan a factores ocupacionales. Carniceros, trabajadores de mataderos, veterinarios y pescadores, son oficios de riesgo para la adquisición de la infección 5,[8][9][10] . El antecedente ambiental de este paciente con contacto con cuero animal, sugiere que fue ésta la vía de adquisición del mismo.…”

“…The lesions generally display central clearing over time and vesicles may develop as well (Gorby & Peacock, 1998;Reboli & Farrar, 1989). Systemic infection may manifest with constitutional symptoms such as fever and malaise, as well as septicemia, arthritis, empyemas, endocarditis and cerebral abscesses (Gorby & Peacock, 1998;Reboli & Farrar, 1989).

IntroductionAquatic sport dermatoses include a variety of skin conditions that occur in athletes who participate in sporting activities in or on the water. Chemicals and microbes inhabiting the aquatic environment are often responsible for the development of these cutaneous conditions. We review common water sports dermatoses and divide them based on activities that occur in saltwater, freshwater and activities outside the water. Some of the water sports represented in the review include swimming, diving, scuba diving, snorkeling and water polo which are mainly based in the water, as well as sailing, rowing, fishing, surfing, whitewater rafting and water-skiing which are based on the water and outside the water. Aquatic sports dermatoses are presented according to their etiology including infectious and organism-related, contact dermatitis and miscellaneous causes. We also describe conditions specifically associated with water sports including sailing, rowing, fishing and surfing. This comprehensive review focuses on the key recognizable clinical features and principles of management of aquatic sports dermatoses. Our aim is to help sports medicine physicians, dermatologists and other health care providers recognize and treat water sport dermatoses in athletes.
