A 59-year-old female patient with a history of malignant lymphoma presented with symptoms of septicaemia. The skin of the extremities showed bullous, necrotizing plaques. Blood culture revealed Vibrio vulnificus as the causative organism. The infection was most likely acquired while swimming in the unusually warm Baltic Sea through inadvertent swallowing of sea water. The disease is rare in Europe. It is discussed in view of its typical clinical and histological picture.
