Abstract

A 58-year-old man with diabetes had fever and chills 5 days after ingestion of raw seafood. Nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, bilateral calf pain, and neck stiffness subsequently developed. Generalized edema and ecchymotic patches with a vesiculobullous eruption appeared on the extremities. Four blood cultures were positive for Vibrio cholerae non-01. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics. This is the first documented case of V. cholerae non-01 septicemia with cutaneous lesions and meningitis in Taiwan.
