ABSTRACT
Non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae usually causes gastroenteritis and bacteremia. It can also cause skin and soft tissue infection but the incidence is very rare. Patients who have been reported to have skin and soft tissue infection caused by non-O1, non-O139 V. cholerae had liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis. We present here a case of skin and soft tissue infection caused by non-O1, non- O139 V. cholerae in a patient with liver cirrhosis in Korea. After treatment of cefotaxime, doxycycline and debridement, the wound was clinically improved. This case suggests that non-O1, non-O139 V. cholerae infection should also be considered in addition to V. vulnificus infection when skin and soft tissue infections occurs in patients with liver cirrhosis, especially if they have had seawater or seafood exposure.
