Isolation of Vibrio fluvialis, and unusual pathogen in acute suppurative cholangitis.
We report a case of acute suppurative cholangitis, from which were isolated Enterobacter aerogenes and Vibrio fluvialis. There have been no previous reports of the isolation of V. fluvialis in this disease. It is usually found in seawater and various seafoods and may cause acute diarrhea, but this is the first report in which it has been associated with acute suppurative cholangitis.
