title: Deep soft-tissue necrosis of the foot and ankle caused by catfish envenomation: a case report.
abstract: Catfish envenomations represent a relatively rare cause of complications in podiatric medicine. We report a case of an unusual event eliciting a severe soft-tissue necrosis in a 21-year-old man and his complicated wound-healing process. This case reviews the potential complications of catfish envenomations.
