- Abstract
Objectives: Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 (NOVC) bacteremia is infrequently reported in Western countries and is associated with unfavorable outcome., Patient/method: We describe here the case of a diabetic patient with hepatic cytolysis and NOVC bacteremia following an episode of diarrhea., Result: The patient was paucisymptomatic and had a favorable resolution with oral ciprofloxacin., Conclusion: NOVC should be systematically sought in stool samples, particularly in immunocompromised patients, due to an increased risk of infection occurrence., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
