[Expert consensus on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of

Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) is a marine bacterium that can cause sepsis, characterized by rapid progression of infection and high clinical mortality rates. However, many healthcare workers lack systematic understanding of V. vulnificus infections and practical experience in the prevention and control of V. vulnificus infection. Therefore, joining with multidisciplinary experts, the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association established a special working group to formulate this consensus, aiming to provide guidance and reference for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of V. vulnificus infection. Based on existing evidence and the latest research, 6 recommendations were formulated in terms of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, early diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and infection treatment and prevention.
