A very terrible type of bacterium, found in some shellfish such as crabs and oysters.

Recently, American media reported on an extremely ominous event. Mr. Angel Perez (60 years old) went to catch crabs at the familiar Maurice river. But one day later, he found his legs swollen, extremely painful.

He then had to go to the examination center, and was given antibiotics. But it seems that the symptoms are getting worse, foot ulcers appear, and then he begins to fall into a coma.

Mr. Angel Perez.

After taking the test, the doctor diagnosed Perez is positive for bacteria that are common in coastal waters, called Vibrio vulnificus . According to the CDC estimates, these bacteria cause about 205 infections a year throughout the United States. Some cases are forced to remove limbs, and even 15% - 30% of cases are fatal.

According to the information, Perez's legs turned brown, then blackened, and gradually spread to all four limbs. Dilz's daughter Dilana shared sadly that her father would have to cut off his entire limbs if he wanted to keep his life.

"This patient has an infection caused by Vibrio bacteria . They can invade through the wound and cause other complications such as necrosis" - Megan Sheppard - a health worker from Cumberland County Health Department share.

The doctor diagnosed with Perez is positive for bacteria commonly found in coastal waters called Vibrio vulnificus.

According to Sheppard, sea crabs, live oysters or other shellfish mostly contain V. vulnificus bacteria in the summer months. In a report published in 2017, 95% of serious infections are related to eating crabs and raw oysters, but sometimes it is only in contact with water areas that contain bacteria when there are open wounds on the body. .

Therefore, CDC recommends that anyone who is injured should stay away from the water. In addition, people who have a weak immune system need to avoid eating shellfish with live shellfish.

"It is important for you to know the severity of the injury, and to be aware of exposed water, especially during the summer months" - Dr. Karen Landers, assistant to the Alabama Department of Public Health for know.

Sea crabs, live oysters or other shellfish mostly contain V. vulnificus bacteria.

According to information from the CDC, the Vibro bacterium causes about 80,000 infections and 100 deaths per year across the United States.

Symptoms of infection include diarrhea and vomiting, which usually begin within 24 hours and last about three days. Serious cases like Mr. Perez are rare, but they are more likely to occur in people with a weak immune system.
