    Abstract:
    A 56-yr-old male who had been followed for alcoholic liver disease was admitted for abdominal pain and a high fever. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed bleeding esophageal varices that were treated by endoscopic sclerotherapy. Blood culture on admission was positive for Aeromonas sobria. Then skin bullas and ulcers and severe muscle degeneration developed. The patient died despite extensive treatment with antibiotics. A. sobria infection in patients with liver cirrhosis is rare.
