Fulminant necrotizing fasciitis secondary to Aeromonas dhakensis infection: a case report
This case underscores the necessity of not overlooking opportunistic and atypical pathogens, such as <i>Aeromonas dhakensis</i>, especially in high-risk susceptible populations, in rapidly progressing soft tissue infections. Early empirical and targeted antimicrobial therapy, prompt surgical intervention, integrated critical care management, and rigorous public water safety measures are all pivotal to improving patient outcomes and preventing similar adverse events.
