Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 11 cases in which A. hydrophila was isolated indicated that the organism caused local infection in 7 cases of asymptomatic colonization in 4. There were no cases of septicemia and none of the patients had a malignant disease or immunosuppression. There were no deaths, although 3 patients required amputation of limbs because of myonecrosis. Chloramphenicol and aminoglycosides appeared to be appropriate therapeutic agents.
