title: [Fatal Aeromonas sobria infection in liver cirrhosis].
abstract: Aeromonas sobria infection is known to be very serious in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of A. sobria infection fatal in a subject with decompensated liver cirrhosis. A 63-year-old man with liver cirrhosis admitted for fever and vomiting developed a necrotizing soft-tissue infection in the right lower leg. Despite a decompression incision in the affected limb and intensive care, he died of sepsis one day after surgery. A. sobria was detected afterward in a blood culture.
