A K Ageev

A review is presented on the new type of infection produced by V. vulnificus and manifested by a wound infection and sepsis. Geographical distribution, routes of infection and clinico-anatomical manifestations are described. The importance of liver damage and conditions followed by the increase of the iron content in the blood for the development of V. vulnificus sepsis are evaluated.
