ABSTRACT
Out of 539 acute diarrhoea cases studied, Vibrio mimicus was isolated as a sole pathogen in the faeces of 7 (1.3%) cases. The chief clinical presentations of the seven cases were watery diarrhoea and vomiting. Bloody diarrhoea was observed in 2 (28.5%), abdominal pain in 2 (28.57%) and fever in one (14.29) cases. All cases could be effectively treated with ORS except 3 (42.85%) cases who required IV Ringer's lactate. All V. mimicus strains isolated in the study were uniformly susceptible to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin.
