The number of reported cases of infections with non-serogroup O1 Vibrio cholerae in the United States has increased recently. These cases have almost invariably been associated with travel, seawater exposure, or the ingestion of shellfish. We report a case of bacteremic cellulitis caused by non-O1 V. cholerae that was acquired in a freshwater inland lake in northern Illinois. The organism is more widely distributed than generally appreciated, and the potential for infection in patients without the usual risk factors exists.
美国非O1群霍乱弧菌感染的报告病例数最近有所增加。这些病例几乎都与旅行、海水接触或食用贝类有关。我们报告了一例由非O1群霍乱弧菌引起的菌血症性蜂窝织炎病例，该病例发生在伊利诺伊州北部的一个淡水内陆湖中。这种细菌的分布比一般认为的更为广泛，在没有常见危险因素的患者中也存在感染的可能性。
