Vibrio cholerae bacteremia associated with gastrectomy

A Toeg et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1990 Mar.

Abstract

Bacteremia due to Vibrio cholerae is rare. Each of 15 cases previously reported in the English language literature occurred in the setting of immune deficiency. We describe an instance of non-serogroup O1 V. cholerae septicemia in an otherwise healthy patient. Susceptibility to such infection may have been enhanced by a prior gastrectomy for duodenal ulcer.
