ABSTRACT
Vibrio cholerae serogroup non-01 may cause a cholera-like illness but may also cause septicaemia in the compromised host, especially in people with hepatic cirrhosis. This organism was isolated from the blood in a patient presenting at the armed forces hospital with fever who was known to have cirrhosis of the liver. Over the next 5 months he had two further septicaemia episodes with vibrio cholerae non-01, suggesting the possibility of a chronic carrier state. Liver cirrhosis is common in oman and this diagnosis should be considered as a cause of fever in such patients
