Aeromonas hydrophila--its implications in freshwater injuries

The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery : Official Publication of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
C A WeberA Ognjan

Abstract

Lacerations or puncture wounds sustained in freshwater environments are susceptible to contamination by Aeromonas hydrophila. Numerous cases have been reported of cellulitis secondary to water-related injuries requiring hospitalization where A. hydrophila was the isolated organism. The typical presentation of an infection of A. hydrophila mimics a streptococcal soft tissue infection, which may result in delay in administration of appropriate antibiotics. A case is presented of a nonimmunocompromised patient who developed an A. hydrophila infection following freshwater-related injuries.
