CAPT Thomas J. Flynn, MC
Arch Intern Med. 1987;147(10):1816-1817.
Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila has been increasingly documented as a hardy organism responsible for severe infection in the compromised host. This case report illustrates how A hydrophila may survive prolonged freezing and how seafood shucking may cause sepsis. This report serves as a caution to the immunocompromised seafood lover.
