Abstract
We report the isolation of Helicobacter cholecystus from a positive blood culture from a 58-year-old man in China who had bacteremia and acute cholecystitis. The patient’s condition improved after symptomatic support treatment and subtotal cholecystectomy. This finding suggests that H. cholecystus should be considered as potential human pathogens.
