Area of Science:

Infectious Diseases
Microbiology
Dermatology

Background:

Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection.
Vibrio cholerae non-01 is typically associated with gastrointestinal illness.
Infections by Vibrio species are often linked to saltwater exposure.

Observation:

A 46-year-old man presented with a painful, febrile, suppurative postphlebitic ulcer on his leg.
Wound cultures revealed only Vibrio cholerae non-01.
No underlying fasciitis, muscle, or blood vessel involvement was noted.

Findings:

This is the second documented case of Vibrio cholerae non-01 causing cellulitis.
It is the first reported case of Vibrio cholerae non-01 cellulitis without a clear saltwater exposure history.

Related Experiment Videos

The patient recovered after treatment with cefazolin sodium.

Implications:

Highlights the potential for Vibrio cholerae non-01 to cause non-gastrointestinal infections like cellulitis.
Suggests that Vibrio cholerae non-01 may have broader pathogenic capabilities than previously understood.
Emphasizes the importance of considering non-01 Vibrio cholerae in wound infections, even without typical risk factors.
