Blood for preliminary haematological and biochemical investigations, as well as fluid draining from blebs, were sent for microbiological investigation. The Gram stain revealed occasional neutrophils and Gram-negative bacilli, and pure growth in aerobic culture was identified as\n \n \n Aeromonas jandaei<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n by matrix-assisted laser desorption\/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The patient was started on empirical antimicrobials, although lesions continued to progress and he ultimately succumbed within 12\u2009h of hospital admission.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion.<\/jats:bold>\n As appropriate antimicrobial therapy and early surgical intervention are required for management of the same, occupational exposure and the fulminant course should raise
