Human infections caused by V. parahaemolyticus in Czechoslovakia.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated in two subjects with acute gastroenteritis. The patients history included stay in Pakistan or India. They probably contracted the infection on board an aeroplane where they ingested cold meal containing sea products. The possibility of this conditioned pathogen occurring also in an inland country is pointed out.
