title: [Fulminant myonecrosis and sepsis caused by Aeromonas hydrophila].
abstract: A case of fatal bilateral lower extremity myonecrosis in a nonimmunocompromized man with septicaemia caused by Aeromonas hydrophila is described. Immediate surgical revision combined with treatment with new cephalosporins should be considered in the treatment of severe soft tissue infections, especially when the patient is known to have a trauma with waterborne contamination or is immunocompromised.
