Aeromonas is well-recognized for causing diarrhea and post-traumatic wound infections. The most common Aeromonas species include Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, and Aeromonas sobria. In cases of immunocompromise and malignancy, Aeromonas infections can prove fatal. Instances of deadly necrotizing fasciitis in the extremities due to Aeromonas infection have been documented. Herein, a case of previously unreported fatal retroperitoneal necrotizing fasciitis involving Aeromonas caviae in a patient with a history of gastric cancer is presented.
气单胞菌因可引起腹泻和创伤后伤口感染而广为人知。最常见的气单胞菌种类包括嗜水气单胞菌、豚鼠气单胞菌和温和气单胞菌。在免疫功能低下和恶性肿瘤的情况下,气单胞菌感染可能是致命的。已有文献记载了因气单胞菌感染导致四肢致命性坏死性筋膜炎的病例。在此,本文报告了一例既往未报道的涉及豚鼠气单胞菌的致命性腹膜后坏死性筋膜炎病例,该患者有胃癌病史。
