Non-O1 vibrio cholerae infections are associated with sporadic cases of gastroenteritis and extraintestinal infections. Septicaemia due to non-O1 vibrio cholerae is rare and are mainly reported in adults, particularly in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of non-O1 vibrio cholerae septicaemia and gastroenteritis in an 8-year-old child. The patient presented with bloody diarrhoea, fever and severe dehydration. Non-O1 vibrio cholerae were isolated from blood and stool cultures. The clinical course was uneventful after starting appropriate rehydration and supportive therapy.
非O1群霍乱弧菌感染与散发性胃肠炎病例及肠外感染有关。非O1群霍乱弧菌引起的败血症较为罕见，主要见于成人，尤其是免疫功能低下的患者。我们报告一例8岁儿童非O1群霍乱弧菌败血症合并胃肠炎的病例。该患者出现血性腹泻、发热和严重脱水。血液和粪便培养分离出非O1群霍乱弧菌。开始适当的补液和支持治疗后，临床过程平稳。
