Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and epidemiologic features of Vibrio vulnificus infections. DESIGN: Case series based on notifiable disease report forms and patient medical records. SETTING: Cases reported to the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services from 1981 to 1987. PATIENTS: Sixty-two patients with V. vulnificus infection. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The three clinical syndromes found were primary septicemia (38 patients), wound infections (17 patients), and gastrointestinal illness without septicemia or wound infections (7 patients). Mortality rate was highest for patients with primary septicemia (55%; 95% CI, 38 to 71) and intermediate for wound infections (24%; 95% CI, 8 to 51): no deaths occurred in those with gastrointestinal illness. Common characteristics and exposures in patients with these syndromes included recent history of raw oyster consumption for primary septicemia and gastrointestinal illness, liver disease for primary septicemia, and either having a preexisting wound or sustaining a wound in contact with seawater for wound infections. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should ask about marine exposures in patients with underlying medical conditions, especially liver disease, who present with unexplained febrile illness, and should start appropriate therapy promptly.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
