Vibrio vulnificus: did Hippocrates describe a fatal case?

B A Baethge1, B C West.   

Abstract

In the fifth century B.C., Hippocrates described a fatal illness in a man who lived on an island in the Aegean Sea. This acute infection was characterized by black bullous skin lesions, rapidly progressive septicemia, and death on the second day. It is hypothesized that this disease was caused by Vibrio vulnificus.
