Vibrio vulnificus can cause local wound infection, gastroenteritis, or septicaemia.Case presentation : In this case, an 86-year-old male was accidentally stabbed in the middle of his right thumb while cleaning Whitewater fish and came to the emergency room with high fever and painful swelling of the right hand. Physical examination revealed haemorrhagic bullae in the right hand. Emergency surgery and bacterial culture were performed. Due to timely antibiotic use and surgical treatment, the patient eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital.Conclusion : This case suggests that the possibility of V. vulnificus should be considered in cases of severe infection of the extremities, even without a history of seafood consumption or seawater exposure. Early recognition, rational choice of antibiotics, and timely wound debridement can substantially improve the prognosis of patients and reduce mortality.
