Abstract
Vibrio is gram negative bacteria found in warm salty water [1]. Vibrio vulnificus is one of the most common species causing vibriosis in the United States [2]. It is associated with primary sepsis, skin infections as well as gastrointestinal tract infection. Here we present a case of Vibrio vulnificus bacteremia in a hemodialysis dependent ESRD patient [3], with h/o treated colon carcinoma, and liver cirrhosis presenting as bilateral leg edema rapidly escalating to septic shock.
