A fatal infection with temporal relation to 2 other febrile infections caused by Vibrio cholerae non-O1, non-O139 (NCV) occurred in Finland in 2003. All infections were associated with contact with seawater. The patient who died had also eaten home-salted whitefish, tested positive for NCV, preceding his symptoms. All patients had compromising factors, and all strains were distinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and negative for the ctx gene. These 3 cases illustrate that, despite being uncommon in Finland, NCVs can cause clinically significant and even fatal infections.
2003年在芬兰发生了一例与另外两例由非O1、非O139霍乱弧菌（NCV）引起的发热性感染存在时间关联的致命感染。所有感染均与接触海水有关。死亡患者在出现症状之前还食用了自家腌制的白鱼，检测出NCV呈阳性。所有患者都有促成因素，所有菌株通过脉冲场凝胶电泳可区分，且ctx基因呈阴性。这3例病例表明，尽管NCV在芬兰并不常见，但仍可导致具有临床意义甚至致命的感染。
