Bacteraemic necrotizing fasciitis with compartment syndrome caused by non-O1 Vibrio cholerae.

Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae are gram-negative rods that can cause sporadic gastroenteritis, bacteraemia, and extraintestinal infections, primarily following the consumption of raw seafood or exposure of damaged skin to contaminated saltwater during the summer months. Bacteraemic necrotizing fasciitis caused by non-O1 V. cholerae has rarely been reported.

Vibrio infection associated with finning injury of the hand.

Background: Penetrating injury by fish fins is common and often overlooked. Vibrio spp. are known worldwide for their virulence, quickly causing soft-tissue infection and lethal septicaemia.

Spontaneous autoinflation and deflation of double-lumen breast implants.

A rare late complication of textured, double-lumen breast implants developed 15 years after routine augmentation mammaplasty. The patient required secondary surgery for removal of the implants in both breasts because of their spontaneous autoinflation and deflation. Mammography showed autoexpansion of the right breast implant and deflation of left breast implant in the outer lumen without evidence of silicone leakage 15 years after implantation.
