Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila has been increasingly documented as a hardy organism responsible for severe infection in the compromised host. This case report illustrates how A. hydrophila may survive prolonged freezing and how seafood shucking may cause sepsis. This report serves as a caution to the immunocompromised seafood lover.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
