“…Diabetes is also a serious aggravating factor. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Gulf Coast Surveillance System, diabetes is a risk factor in over 35% of cases (4,5,6). This case highlights the need of including V. vulnificus in the differential diagnosis of sepsis and severe wound infections in patients with concomitant chronic diseases and epidemiological evidence of contact with seawater, and to avoid consuming raw seafood.…”

“…V. vulnificus can cause mild infectious diseases in healthy hosts, which can resolve spontaneously without antibiotic treatment; however, in immunocompromised individuals, severity of the disease becomes much worse, with bacteremia being common, with a mortality rate greater than 50 % [10] ; fatal cases without prompt treatment who evolves to septic shock, mortality rate is close to 92 % [11] , [12] .…”

“…In case of oral ingestion, gastroenteritis may occur in the best-case scenario, meanwhile, wound infection can manifest heterogeneously, from mild symptoms with well-defined erythematous lesions, blisters, and cellulitis to deep infections such as myositis, necrotizing fasciitis, and purpura fulminans [11] . Less common pneumonia, osteomyelitis, ocular infections, meningitis, peritonitis, and endocarditis may occur [12] , [13] .…”

“…This may be due to the substantial heterogeneity of disease resulting from multiple underlying pathogens, sites of infection, individualized host immune responses, and manifestations of organ dysfunction [5]. Current research shows that the pathogenic Vibrio that cause sepsis mainly include Vibrio vulnificus [6], Vibrio cholerae [7], and V. alginolyticus [8]. Among them, V. alginolyticus, as an emerging pathogenic bacterium, can infect aquatic animals and humans, which not only seriously affects the quality and safety of aquatic food, but also causes human disease and threatens public health.…”
