Aeromonas hydrophila: analysis of 11 cases.

J A Smith
PMCID: PMC1802028  PMID: 7388723

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of 11 cases in which Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated indicated that the organsim caused local infection in 7 cases and asymptomatic colonization in 4. There were no cases of septicemia and none of the patients were known to have a malignant disease or immunosuppression. There were no deaths, although three of the patients required amputation of limbs because of myonecrosis. Chloramphenicol and aminoglycosides appeared to be appropriate therapeutic agents.
