We describe a case of Vibrio fluvialis hemorrhagic cellulitis and cerebritis following multiple fire-ant stings and wading in brackish water. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis of this specific pathogen and concordant infection. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of this type of wound infection.
我们描述了一例在多次被火蚁叮咬并在微咸水中涉水后发生的河流弧菌出血性蜂窝织炎和脑脊髓炎病例。诊断这种特定病原体及相关感染需要高度的怀疑指数。据我们所知,这是此类伤口感染的首例报告。
