Abstract:
Three cases of vibrio vulnificus-associated necrotizing fasciitis are presented. All patients showed a rapidly progressing, swelling, redness in the limb after eating seafood. Additionally, they presented with multiple organ dysfunction syndromes affecting the heart, lung, liver, kidney, coagulation, and blood. Vibrio vulnificus related necrotizing fasciitis is a fatal soft-tissue infection with high mortality. These are essential to improve survival by early clinical suspicion and immediate surgical intervention.
