title: [A life saving case of Vibrio vulnificus (septic type)].
abstract: After eating raw shellfish, 62-year-old man suffered from watery diarrhea and leg pain. The disease developed to septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis of bilateral lower extremities. Vibrio vulnificus was isolated from wound. He was treated with antibiotics, surgical debridement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and consequently was saved. Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on V. vulnificus infection was discussed.
