In modern medicine, there are very few infectious disease processes occurring in the foot that can cause death within 48 hr. and have an overall mortality rate of 50% despite appropriate antibiotic and surgical treatment. Such a condition must be regarded as being potentially deadly. The authors report a case of necrotizing fasciitis of the left foot resulting from an unusual organism of Vibrio vulnificus.
在现代医学中,足部发生的可在48小时内导致死亡且即便接受了适当的抗生素治疗和手术治疗总体死亡率仍达50%的传染病进程非常少见。这样一种病症必须被视为具有潜在致命性。作者报告了一例由一种不常见的创伤弧菌引起的左足坏死性筋膜炎病例。
