Resumen
CALDUCH BROSETA, J. V. et al. Septicemia caused by Vibrio cholerae non-01 in immunocompromised patient. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.12, pp.34-36. ISSN 0212-7199.
We describe the remarkable case of a patient with septicemia caused by Non 0-1 Vibrio Cholerae associated with skin lesion of the lower and upper extremities. This patient suffered from chronic liver disease and a cervix carcinoma in IIIB stage, she had been admitted to the hospital the day before for dicompensated ascites. She received intravenous cefotaxime and had a satisfactory recovery and was completely free of signs and symptoms. We report its epidemiological discovery in inland freshwater and this is the first announced case in Spain with this confirmed environmental isolation and a rare report case in the literature.
