Abstract
HENAO-MARTINEZ, Andrés F; GONZALEZ-FONTAL, Guido R and JOHNSON, Steven. A case of community-acquired Acinetobacter junii-johnsonii cellulitis. Biomédica [online]. 2012, vol.32, n.2, pp.179-181. ISSN 0120-4157.
Acinetobacter skin and soft tissue infection outside of the traumatic wound setting are rare occurrences. The majority of cases occur in the presence of significant comorbilities and by Acinetobacter baumanii. Herein a case is reported of community-onset, health-care-associated, non-traumatic cellulitis caused by Acinetobacter, species junii-johnsonii with bacteremia. This is the first reported case of Acinetobacter junii-johnsonii skin and soft tissue infection. Hemorrhagic bullae might be one of the clinical features of Acinetobacter cellulitis.
