Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Vibrio cholerae non-O1/ non-O139 is a rare phenomenon. V. cholerae is known as a common aetiology of epidemic diarrheal disease and rarely causes extra-gastrointestinal infections. In this report, a 52-year-old man presented to our hospital with a clinical scenario for chronic liver cirrhosis with low grade fever and loose stools. V. cholerae was isolated from peritoneal fluid culture, which was further confirmed as non-O1/ non-O139 strain by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. The patient was successfully treated with antimicrobial therapy and peritoneal drainage. This case represents the first isolation of V. cholerae non-O1/ non-O139 strain from peritoneal fluid.
由霍乱弧菌非 O1/非 O139 引起的自发性细菌性腹膜炎是一种罕见现象。霍乱弧菌是一种常见的流行性腹泻病病原体，很少引起胃肠道外感染。在本报告中，一名 52 岁男性因慢性肝硬化伴低度发热和腹泻就诊。从腹腔液培养中分离出霍乱弧菌，经多重聚合酶链反应进一步证实为非 O1/非 O139 株。患者经抗菌治疗和腹腔引流成功治愈。该病例代表了首例从腹腔液中分离出霍乱弧菌非 O1/非 O139 株。
