Septicaemia caused by Vibrio vulnificus
J Infect.
1988 Sep.
Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus is an uncommon cause of septicaemia. A few reports suggest that patients with chronic liver disease are more susceptible. We report two cases of septicaemia caused by this organism and emphasise the need for early empirical therapy.
