J Med Sci Jan ;23(3):176-8.

Photobacterium damselae subs.damselae is a common marine bacterium , which primarily infects marine animals. In humans, it was reported to cause severe and fatal infections. We report a case of a 5 years old child who presented with septic shock and died within 5 hours after presentation in spite of medical care. We briefly reviewed the infection with this organism and we want to alert health care workers about this highly virulent pathogen.
