免疫功能低下者霍乱弧菌相关坏死性筋膜炎:轻微接触导致危及生命的疾病

Abstract

Vibrio cholerae primarily causes gastrointestinal infections. However, in immunocompromised patients, the presentation can be atypical in the form of extraintestinal manifestation and more invasive disease. We report a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), who had necrotizing fasciitis in the left leg following exposure to stagnant rainwater. These immunocompromised patients should be educated about the possibility of such life-threatening infection following such a minor exposure.
