title: Acute generalized livedo racemosa caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus identified by MALDI-TOF MS.
abstract: Independent of the size of the dog and the type of injury, serious infections may follow a dog bite and these may result in the abrupt onset of multiorgan failure. Early recognition of the warning signs with regard to the underlying severity of the infection is of the utmost importance. Reticulate skin eruptions constitute a precursory phenomenon.
