Cholera is being increasingly recognized in the Gulf Coast region. This report describes two cholera cases of classic clinical presentation. Both cases were caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae, one of an 01 serotype and one of a non-01 serotype. Vibrio cholerae was also isolated from the home environments of both patients. These findings indicate that cholera continues to be detected on the Gulf Coast, that non-01 V cholerae infections may be clinically indistinguishable from V cholerae 01 infections, and that both 01 and non-01 V cholerae strains are capable of survival in Gulf Coast environments.
霍乱在墨西哥湾沿岸地区越来越多地被发现。本报告描述了两例具有典型临床表现的霍乱病例。两例均由产毒素的霍乱弧菌引起，一例为O1血清型，另一例为非O1血清型。在两名患者的家庭环境中也分离出了霍乱弧菌。这些发现表明，墨西哥湾沿岸地区仍能检测到霍乱，非O1霍乱弧菌感染在临床上可能与O1霍乱弧菌感染无法区分，并且O1和非O1霍乱弧菌菌株都能够在墨西哥湾沿岸地区的环境中生存。
