AB  - A  43-year-old  woman  presented  with  severe  pain,  burning,  and  swelling  of  the  feet.  Her  symptoms  began  2  days  prior  after  returning  from  a  7-day  camping  and  hiking  trip.  She  reported  that  her  boots  were  soaked  during  this  period.  Examination  revealed  that  both  feet  were  swollen,  acrocyanotic,  and  cold  with  decreased  capillary  refill  in  all  10  toes;  pedal  pulses  were  palpable  bilaterally.  There  were  dried  up  blisters  in  the  bilateral  feet  and  ankles  (Figure  88-1).  Arterial  duplex  documented  normal  posterior  tibial  and  dorsalis  pedis  arteries.  A  diagnosis  of  bilateral  immersion  foot  was  made.  She  was  initially  treated  with  bed  rest,  intravenous  antibiotics,  elevation,  and  hydration.  Her  swelling  improved  over  the  next  few  weeks,  but  she  continued  to  have  symptoms  of  pain  and  discomfort  which  were  treated  with  gabapentin  therapy.  There  was  no  tissue  or  limb  loss  due  to  early  detection  and  treatment.
