ABSTRACT

Reports of infections due to V. vulnificus in pediatrics are limited in the literature. Characteristically are described 3 clinical syndromes: primary sepsis, skin and soft tissue infection, and gastrointestinal infection. We report a 15 year-old male with a diagnosis of pure red cell aplasia and hemosiderosis who was admitted with fever, skin lesions, diarrhea and sepsis. At day four after admission, V. vulnificus was identified in blood culture, but the patient died despite treatment. Presenting this case report, we describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and evolution of infection due to V. vulnificus.
