Intracranial infection by Vibrio alginolyticus following injury in salt water
J Clin Microbiol.
1986 Feb.
Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented with an epidural abscess 3 months after a seawater diving accident. Cultures of the abscess cavity obtained by surgical drainage revealed a pure culture of Vibrio alginolyticus. Marine vibrios may produce serious intracranial infection after head injury in salt water.
