Necrotizing pneumonia is a rare complication of community-acquired pneumonia, characterized by lung parenchymal destruction in affected areas. It has been sporadically documented over the years, mostly with insidious progression and a higher incidence among individuals with risk factors. Its diagnosis relies on clinical, analytical, and imaging data, and the treatment encompasses medical and surgical measures. The persistently high morbidity and mortality result from delayed diagnosis and the intricate therapeutic approach. In this report, the authors describe an unusual case of necrotizing pneumonia in a patient without risk factors.

() is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacillus known for causing severe infections such as gastroenteritis, necrotizing fasciitis, and septic shock, with mortality rates exceeding 50% in high-risk individuals. Transmission occurs primarily through the consumption of contaminated seafood, exposure of open wounds to infected water, or, in rare cases, insect bites. The bacterium thrives in warm, brackish waters with high salinity levels, and its prevalence is rising due to the effects of climate change, including warming ocean temperatures and expanding coastal habitats.
