Abstract
in English, Spanish, Spanish

Bacteremia by non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae is a rare entity associated with high mortality rates. We report a case of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae bacteremia confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and agglutination tests. The clinicoepidemiological characteristics and therapeutic options for this infection are also described.

La bacteriemia por V. cholerae no-O1/no-O139 es una entidad poco frecuente que se asocia con altas tasas de mortalidad. Reportamos un caso de bacteriemia por V. cholerae no-O1/no-O139 confirmado por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) y test de aglutinación. Se describen además las características clínico-epidemiológicas y opciones terapéuticas para esta infección.
