ABSTRACT
Vibrio vulnificus infects susceptible individuals who eat contaminated seafood or have an open wound that is exposed to seawater. The common symptoms are necrotizing wound infection, primary septicemia, and gastroenteritis. A 52-year-old man visited the emergency department complaining of drowsiness. Based on a cerebrospinal fluid analysis, he was diagnosed with acute bacterial meningitis. V. vulnificus was isolated from a blood culture. The patient responded to treatment with ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin. We report a rare case of acute bacterial meningitis caused by V. vulnificus that was treated successfully.
