Abstract

An alcoholic patient with ascites was admitted to the intensive care unit for gastrointestinal bleeding. He subsequently developed spontaneous myonecrosis of the extremities culminating in sepsis syndrome. This was a unique, non-traumatic presentation of Aeromonas hydrophila soft tissue injury.
