“…Visualization of this bacteria in the skin is rare. According to Barnett et al (3), only Ehrlich (17) was able to demonstrate the presence of E. rhusiopathiae using a Gram stain, possibly because the organism is believed to reside in the reticular dermis and may be missed if a sufficiently deep biopsy is not performed (4). Another possibility is that the bacteria have lost their cell walls, reverting to L forms.…”

Erysipeloid, a cutaneous infection with the gram-positive bacillus Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, is typically an occupational dermatosis seen in persons working with livestock or involved in commercial fishing (fishmongers). Other more-generalized forms of infection with this organism also exist, including a septic form usually associated with endocarditis. Many infections may be self-limited. They have rarely been reported in children or in immunocompromised patients. This microbe is sensitive to many mainstream antibiotic agents.

“…Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a gram-positive bacillus found in fresh and salt water, causes erysipeloid, which is characterized by well-demarcated skin plaques. Dissemination, although unusual, has led to septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, brain abscess, and endocarditis (78,79).…”

There is increasing evidence that environmental degradation may be contributing to an increase in marine-related diseases across a wide range of taxonomic groups. This includes a growing number of reports of both recreational and occupational users of marine waters developing gastrointestinal, respiratory, dermatologic, and ear, nose, and throat infections. The duration and type of exposure, concentration of pathogens, and host immunity determine the risk of infection. Public health authorities may not be able to accurately predict the risk of waterborne disease from marine waters due to the limitations of conventional monitoring, as well as erroneous perceptions of pathogen life span in marine systems. Pathogens undetectable by conventional methods may remain viable in marine waters, and both plankton and marine sediments may serve as reservoirs for pathogenic organisms, which can emerge to become infective when conditions are favorable. In this paper we address the environmental factors that may contribute to illness, the types of associated economic costs, the issues of water quality monitoring and the policy implications raised by the apparent rise in incidence of marine water-related illnesses. Key words: disease surveillance, marine ecosystems, waterborne disease. Environ Health Perspect 109:645-650 (2001).
