infection commonly manifests as gastroenteritis, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Although uncommon, has also been associated with wound infection and septic shock. These two manifestations have not been well-reported in medical literature, yet may yield a high risk of death, thus requiring emergent interventions. We present a case of a 42-year-old patient who developed septic shock secondary to a bullous necrotic wound and diarrhea due to . Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome with extreme cardiac injury developed very early in the course of the disease, prompting ICU admission and management with antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, blood purification, and surgical debridement.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of -induced cardiomyopathy. should be considered as one of the causative agents in patients with sepsis due to cellulitis, particularly in patients with a suggestive history, such as exposure to seawater or eating seafood.
