Two cases of thumb replantation and one of finger revascularization complicated by Aeromonas hydrophilainfection are reported. Two digits were lost because of infection in soft tissue and osteomyelitis. One thumb had extensive necrosis. In all cases the infection was difficult to eradicate, probably because of ischemia. All three patients sustained their injuries while cutting meat or fish. These infection sources have not been previously reported. Note is made of Aeromonas hydrophilain medicinal leeches that are used in microvascular surgery and the potential for iatrogenic infection. |
