It is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious life-threatening infections in patients with certain health conditions. Vibrio-induced wound infections in immunosuppressed patients are difficult to treat because the healing process may be significantly delayed. Reconstructive surgery may not be successful in early treatment as skin grafts are likely to fail, and there may be increased morbidity of donor sites of grafts or flaps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Herein a case of septicemia and wound necrosis owing to V. vulnificus wound infection in a renal transplant patient is reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To conservatively yet adequately d\u00e9bride the wound bed, stimulate angiogenesis, and accelerate granulation, vacuum-assisted closure was employed.
