Skin manifestations of DF-2 sepsis

Cutaneous Manifestations of DF-2 Septicemia was first reported by Bobo et al. In 1976. The pathogenic bacterium DF-2 (dystonic fermenter type 2) is a Gram-negative bacterium. The pathogenic bacterium DF-2 is often parasitic in the oropharynx of healthy dogs, and infection often occurs in people who have been bitten by or in contact with dogs. Especially for those with impaired immune function, this disease is an animal disease that can be transmitted to humans. The pathogenesis is uncertain. Fever, nausea, vomiting, and diffuse intravascular coagulation occurred suddenly within 1 to 3 days after being bitten by a dog. The diagnosis is mainly based on blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture, and it is difficult to identify slender gram-negative bacilli. Antibiotic sensitive.
