Vibrio fluvialis: An Underrecognized Enteric Pathogen in Infants?

Authors: E ANDERS KOLB MD, STEPHEN C. EPPES MD, JOEL D. KLEIN MD

Abstract

ABSTRACT: We report a case of Vibrio fluvialis gastroenteritis in an infant 3 ½ weeks old. The case was unusual because no likely epidemiologic risk factors were involved. Since several other such cases in young infants have been reported, V fluvialis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infantile gastroenteritis.
