Figure 1. Changes of signs in the patient with severe Vibrio anguillaris infection. Three hours after admission, lesions of the left hand showed cyanosis, multiple blisters, and ecchymosis in the palm (A) and the back (B), with rupture of some large blisters. Three days after admission, debridement was performed with fascial compartment dissection for decompression (C). Ten days after admission, lesion of the left hand was deteriorated with the necrosis of the pinky finger (D and E). Fourteen days after admission, the left lower limb showed local lesion with local redness, partial ulceration, and bloody exudate (F). Twenty-six days after admission, necrosis of the left hand was uncontrolled (G and H).
