| Description | Hundreds of people come back from exotic countries with bacterial or parasitic infection every year. Venomous animal attack is less common. One such animal is scorpion fish (Scorpaena scrofa). We present case report of a 57-year-old patient treated at the Clinic of Burns and Plastic Surgery with extensive necrotic skin defekt on the right lower leg (1,5 % total body surface area). Defect was caused by puncture injury by scorpion fish in the Red sea. The injury was complicated with comorbid dis- eases of the patient, especially diabetes mellitus type 2. |
