Non-O1 <it>Vibrio cholerae </it>inguinal skin and soft tissue infection with bullous skin lesions in a patient with a penis squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract
Abstract Vibrio spp. is a pathogen rarely isolated in cancer patients, and in most cases it is associated with haematological diseases. Cutaneous manifestations of this organism are even rarer. We report a case of Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae inguinal skin and soft tissue infection presenting bullous skin lesions in a young type II diabetic patient with a penis squamous cell carcinoma having a seawater exposure history.
