Résumé
Non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae, a comparably poorly studied pathogen is culpable of sporadic but serious infections. We report a case of non O1 non O139 Vibrio cholerae septicemia in a middle aged male recently diagnosed with carcinoma pancreas. He underwent biliary tract interventional procedure for hematemesis three weeks before the presentation. Now, he presented with fever, abdominal pain, hematemesis and melena. Endoscopy revealed severe portal hypertensive gastropathy and mild hemobilia. Blood culture grew Vibrio cholerae, identified as non O1 non O139 by serogrouping. He recovered successfully with timely diagnosis, appropriate antibiotics and supportive measures.
