Non 0-1 Vibrio cholerae infection is often associated with ingestion of contaminated seafood and its common presentation is gastroenteritis. Septicemia may be found in immunocompromised hosts resulting in mortality approaching 50%. A case is reported of non 0-1 Vibrio cholerae infection presenting with septicemia in a patient with neutrocytic ascites suggestive of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
