Abstract

Vibrio Cholera, a gram negative bacterium, is notoriously known to cause diarrheal epidemics. The serotypes O1 and O139 are mainly responsible for the diarrheal outbreaks due to the enterotoxin they produce. This enterotoxin however seems to be protective against bacteremia and hence bacteremia is rarely encountered. We report a case of an immune-competent young female who initially presented with hypokalemic periodic paralysis secondary to acute on chronic diarrhea. She was discharged after rehydration and bounced back in septic shock and her blood cultures grew Vibrio Cholera identified on Vitek. She succumbed to this organism within 24 hours of re-admission.

免疫功能正常患者的弧菌菌血症新病例

霍乱弧菌是一种革兰氏阴性细菌，以引起腹泻流行而闻名。血清型为 O1 和 O139 的霍乱弧菌因其产生的肠毒素而对腹泻疫情负有主要责任。然而，这种肠毒素似乎对菌血症有保护作用，因此很少发生菌血症。我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的年轻女性病例，她最初因急性和慢性腹泻继发低钾周期性麻痹。她在补液后出院，又因脓毒性休克而反弹，血液培养出了经 Vitek 鉴定的霍乱弧菌。她在再次入院的 24 小时内死于霍乱弧菌。
