The Aeromonadaceae family, comprised of gram-negative bacilli, is ubiquitously distributed across the globe. Infections by Aeromonas species encompass gastroenteritis, septicaemia, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), pneumonia, and peritonitis. This report delineates a case of Aeromonas hydrophila infection, manifesting as an array of pustules on the patient's lower extremities subsequent to the ingestion of marine crustaceans, specifically prawns. Prompt diagnosis and the initiation of an appropriate antibiotic regimen are imperative to mitigate the risk of further complications.
