Infections associated with marine activities, particularly work or recreation in salt water, present unique diagnostic challenges for the infectious disease practitioner. Those caused by halophilic, non-cholera Vibrio species are increasingly being recognized in clinical practice. They typically follow saltwater injuries, especially those associated with coral. Because these infections can be both severe and life-threatening, a consideration of halophilic Vibrio species in the differential diagnosis of marine-acquired infections is important. In this case report, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cellulitis in a patient with a Caribbean coral injury associated with Vibrio alginolyticus cellulitis.
与海洋活动相关的感染，尤其是在咸水中工作或娱乐时发生的感染，给传染病医生带来了独特的诊断挑战。嗜盐非霍乱弧菌引起的感染在临床实践中越来越受到关注。这些感染通常继发于海水损伤，尤其是与珊瑚有关的损伤。由于这些感染可能很严重甚至危及生命，因此在海洋获得性感染的鉴别诊断中考虑嗜盐弧菌很重要。在本病例报告中，我们讨论了一例与溶藻弧菌蜂窝织炎相关的加勒比珊瑚损伤患者蜂窝织炎的诊断和治疗。
