Two cases of soft tissue infection by Aeromonas hydrophila are presented with review of the literature.
Two cases of soft tissue infection by Aeromonas hydrophila diagnosed from 1992-1993 are reported.
Most soft tissue infection produced by Aeromonas organisms are caused by Aeromonas hydrophila. These infections predominantly affect the lower limbs of middle-aged males with previous history of injury favoring infection. The most common clinical presentation is cellulitis with a good prognosis if bacteremia is not produced. Antibiotics, such as mainly third generation cephalosporins, imipenem, aztreonam, cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, quinolones and aminoglucosides (except streptomycin) are usually very active in vitro against these organisms. Surgery is often necessary to cure the process.
Cellulitis by Aeromonas hydrophila is a very infrequent entity in Spain and is usually associated to previous injury and probable contamination by environmental bacteria.
本文报告了两例嗜水气单胞菌引起的软组织感染病例，并对相关文献进行了回顾。
报告了1992年至1993年诊断的两例嗜水气单胞菌引起的软组织感染病例。
气单胞菌属细菌引起的大多数软组织感染是由嗜水气单胞菌所致。这些感染主要累及有既往受伤史且易发生感染的中年男性的下肢。最常见的临床表现是蜂窝织炎，若未发生菌血症则预后良好。抗生素，如主要是第三代头孢菌素、亚胺培南、氨曲南、复方新诺明、四环素、氯霉素、喹诺酮类和氨基糖苷类（除链霉素外）通常在体外对这些细菌具有很高活性。通常需要手术来治愈该疾病。
嗜水气单胞菌引起的蜂窝织炎在西班牙是一种非常罕见的疾病，通常与既往受伤及可能的环境细菌污染有关。
